FRIENDS OF BEDFORDSHIRE YOUTH MUSIC

Supports young people across Bedfordshire to develop as musicians and has enabled: - young people from families with limited income to be able to attend holiday music courses and local music centres - young musicians to participate in master classes - school students to have access to musical events locally and to a supply of musical instruments and printed music.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
