MUSIC IN THE GARDENS 

The Charity's principal activity is to bring relief generally or to individual persons who are in condition of need, hardship or distress, mainly but not exclusively by making financial donations to such charities as fall within the scope of the charity's objects and as trustees shall think fit from time to time.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
