EAST LONDON MUSIC GROUP

The provision of arts-based events and activities for and in collaboration with educational establishments and the wider community of East London.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
