THE BLACK DOG MUSIC PROJECT

We are a user led community music group that provides music sessions in purpose built studios for beginners to ex professional musicians who have suffered mental health problems, addictions or disabilities. The Project is keen to be involved with enabling its members to establish themselves into the wider community and challenge any form of discrimination experienced during their recovery journey.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
