ADVANCE EDUCATION BY THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE ART OR SCIENCE OF MUSIC.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
