BARNET EDUCATION ARTS TRUST 

Barnet Education Arts Trust provides music education opportunities to young people living in or attending school in the London Borough of Barnet. Occasionally these opportunities may extend to neighbouring boroughs. The activities include lessons, ensembles, workshops and performances
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
