HENLEY MUSIC SCHOOL

Individual instrumental lessons for 105 children & adults, small group classes, school music clubs, weekly curriculum lessons within school, Music School Sunday's, which take place once a month and Youthful Orchestra, an adult orchestra for rusty musicians, which also meets once a month. With all HMS activities bursaries of up to 100% are available.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Why are there only 4 trustees?
Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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