TRUST MUSIC 

Our aim is to create an inclusive environment for all children through music. From our work in the community, we provide practical and financial support for music projects which raise aspirations and enable young people to fulfil thier potential. We develop strategic partnerships, and work closely with our supporters, to develop the case for continued investment in music education.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
