THE SHEFFIELD MUSIC SCHOOL 

Sheffield Music school, which is held every Saturday morning, aims to offer quality music making in a fun, friendly and nurturing environment. We support pupils from Grade 1 to post Grade 8 through their individual musical journeys and pride ourselves in offering a bespoke programme of musical experiences. A number of bursaries are available.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
  • 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
