MUSIC FOR EVERYONE 

Music for Everyone (formerly Nottingham Choral Trust, Charity No.517018) provides opportunities for singers and instrumentalists of all ages and abilities to take part in educational music weekends and high quality public performances in Nottingham and further afield.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • 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 payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

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
