MUSIC FOR GOOD 

Promoting well-being and learning through music and singing. We work across age ranges, in communities, Education and Health settings across Cornwall, providing high quality, inclusive and creative music making opportunities. Underpinned by research and evidence, we are a learning and outcomes driven organisation which puts people and their well-being at the very centre. Keen to share our learning
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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

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