CRESCENDO 

The Trust helps primary age children, who would not normally have the chance, to have the opportunity to experience a wider experience of live music.The Trustees no longer support direct teaching and will not take on any new students. They will support organisations which support children's experience of music and the arts. The Trustees do not accept unsolicited applications.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
