INNER CITY MUSIC LIMITED

I C M presents a range of music and related education activities at its Manchester Venue Band on the Wall. Other local charities utilise space and facilities at reduced rates. The building re-opened in September 2009 following extensive renovation, and now incorporates meeting rooms, office facilities, music venue, workshop space and the provision of food and drink.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
