FRIENDS OF THE MUSICIANS CHAPEL 

FMC takes an active part in maintaining and promoting interest in S.Sepulchre's Church. They look after the Musicians' Book of Remembrance and inscribe the names of professional musicians in it. Each year a Commemoration Service is held in S.Sepulchre's Church for the lives and work of the musicians whose names are in the Book of Remembrance.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
