INCORPORATED SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS TRUST

The ISM Trust delivers professional development to the music sector through webinars, seminars, events and partnerships with leading charities and organisations. It develops innovative resources for music professionals, covering a wide range of topics from performance anxiety and legal essentials to primary singing and musical understanding.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 16 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
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
