THE ARABESQUE TRUST 

To advance the education of the public in the knowledge and appreciation of the arts and music and in particular but not exclusively the music of blind composers and blind pipe organists born in the UK through the provision of grants and in such a manner as the trustees shall in their absolute ciscretion determine.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

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