MUSIC AT MALLING LTD

Promotion of a festival of outstanding music in West Malling, Kent and surrounding areas . Centred on professional musicians and encourages the involvement of local schools.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Why are there only 4 trustees?
Why is the Board composition very 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
