YORKSHIRE AND HUMBERSIDE ASSOCIATION FOR MUSIC IN SPECIAL EDUCATION 

We provide and promote high quality musical activities and tuition for children and adults who have additional needs. We run CPD courses for staff, and participatory music days and concerts for children/adults with LD. We value music as communication education and for pleasure. We recognise the unique contribution that music plays in peoples lives especially those who have added difficulties.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
