SOUNDUK ARTS

Sound UK Arts is a new music producer which commissions music projects that tour across the country and digital work accessible online. It seeks to bring high quality new music to a diverse audience - especially those underserved - and to deepen their access and understanding of it through workshops, talks, live performances, installations and digital projects.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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 age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
