MUSIC IN MAYFIELD LIMITED

To promote public education in, and appreciation of, the arts and science of music, particularly but not exclusively for events with the parish of Mayfield; together with the organisation and running of the biennial classic music festival in Mayfield known as Mayfield Festival of Music and the Arts
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Why are there only 2 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
