SAMLING INSTITUTE FOR YOUNG ARTISTS

Samling Institute for Young Artists provides training, masterclass and performance opportunities, including opera, for young classical singers and pianists through two closely linked programmes. It offers a residential Artist Programme for emerging young professionals and an Academy for young people at an earlier stage of their development.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
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
