GEORGE'S ROCKSTARS

George's Rockstars provides music therapy for children in hospital currently in the Hampshire region with a view to expanding across the UK as the charity grows

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
There has been strong growth in spending since inception
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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