THE AIDAN WOODCOCK CHARITABLE TRUST

THE TRUST'S MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVIDE EACH YEAR FOUR COURSES FOR ADVANCED STUDENTS IN THE PERFORMANCE OF CHAMBER MUSIC. THE PARTICIPANTS WILL NORMALLY BE AT POST-GRADUATE LEVEL AND PLANNING TO MAKE CHAMBER MUSIC THEIR CAREER OR A PART OF THEIR CAREER. THE COURSES ARE RESIDENTIAL AND LAST ELEVEN DAYS EACH, AND ARE HELD IN SURREY. EACH COURSE CULMINATES IN THREE PUBLIC CONCERTS.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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 but has stabilised more recently
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
