A4ALTRUISTIC 

Makes grants to registered charities to provide volunteers to escort visually impaired people to music venues or other such support that allows the visually impaired or blind people to access live music where they would otherwise struggle due to their impairment.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

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