SONG IN THE CITY CHARITY TRUST 

Song in the City uses the power of song to change people lives. We are passionate about devising projects that use the talents of classical musicians and composers to make a difference in the world at large, and to stretch these artists in new and creative ways. Social projects combined with the commissioning of new performance pieces are at the heart of our activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
