MUSIC FOR MINIATURES 

Music for Miniatures is a registered charity set up to provide opportunities for children and their families to experience high quality live music. We aim to excite, inspire, delight, and enrich the lives of children through live classical music, regardless of background. Focussing predominantly (but not exclusively) on classical music, our performances are interactive, educational, and inspiring.
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:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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