THE PIANO TEACHERS' COURSE UK TRUST

The trust provides funding to assist the Piano Teachers' Course UK in three main ways:marketing strategies to attract enough students, the continuing development of the courses on offer in line with current needs and pedagogy, and the provision of bursaries so that the courses are accessible to those would not otherwise be able to afford them.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly male

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
