LAKE DISTRICT MUSIC LIMITED

Founded in 1985, Lake District Summer Music (LDSM) has consistently pursued a clear policy of bringing to Cumbria an annual festival and professional summer school of quality and purpose centred principally, but not exclusively, on chamber music.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
