DR MARTIN CLARKE YOUNG ORGAN SCHOLARS' TRUST 

The Dr Martin Clarke YOST aims to train the next generation of organists, preserving the UK's rich cultural heritage of church music. We do this by paying for excellent teaching for our scholars, under the overall supervision of our Director, and providing opportunities for them to gain practical experience playing in churches.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
