RICHARD SHEPHARD MUSIC FOUNDATION

The advancement of musical education for children and young people in Yorkshire and more widely

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
