BRISTOL JAZZ AND BLUES FESTIVAL

To promote, improve, develop & maintain public appreciation of jazz, blues and similar genres of music by a) the presentation of high quality artists in festival format in the city of Bristol & further afield when necessary, and b) by such other means at the Trustees discretion cooperating with like minded organisations.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
There are only 3 trustees
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
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
