Coda is an inclusive charity that seeks to tackle inequality in our community by providing universal access to music and the arts. We devise and deliver creative and innovative education and health programmes and work with inspirational artists to create projects with and for local people.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 26 years
