Promoting education of children, young people and the public generally, with a particular focus on those with learning difficulties, through investigating, researching, developing & promoting educational, therapeutic & recreational strategies & resources that support & encourage the creative & aesthetic development of people through their understanding & appreciation of & engagement with music

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly male
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
