HARROW STEEL 

Harrow Steel is an Arts Education charity that operates in North West London. Our aim to provide students, from a variety of backgrounds, the opportunity to learn about Steel Pan music and the music of other cultures, particularly for those who may not otherwise be able to access this provision. Through the workshops, young people will gain skills in teamwork, resilience and musicianship.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

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