FRIENDS OF KAMPALA MUSIC SCHOOL

Raising Funds for the Kampala Music School, Uganda, and putting on concerts, recitals etc for greater publicity and for public enjoyment.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

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
  • Spending is declining
