THE RHYTHM STUDIO FOUNDATION

The Rhythm Foundation is a charity that works alongside The Rhythm Studio to fund music activities for children and young people in London. We offer financial support for music projects based in and out of schools and hospitals, providing young people with musical opportunities that would not otherwise be possible.

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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
