QUARTET OF PEACE TRUST (UK) 

QUARTET OF PEACE IS A REGISTERED CHARITY AND 100% OF THE PROFITS FROM THIS EVENT GO TO EDUCATING AND TRAINING GIFTED MUSICIANS WHO WOULD NOT OTHERWISE BE ABLE TO ADVANCE THEIR STUDIES.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female
  • The Board 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
