THE BEDFORDSHIRE MUSIC TRUST

The charity supports music activities for young people and adults in Beds and surrounding areas. Following the demise of Bedfordshire Music, we have become responsible for operating the holiday youth music ensemble courses in the former county and advising on policy with the local Music Hubs. Our aim is to provide access to musical opportunities for young musicians appropriate to their abilities.

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
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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