Public benefits

The direct benefits which flow from the purposes to the beneficiaries include - through the advancement of education – enhanced knowledge and understanding in young people through receiving educational music programmes and – through the advancement of arts, culture and heritage for the enjoyment of future generations - the teaching of traditional

music which strengthens an old tradition when passed from generation to generation. These benefits can be demonstrated through numbers attending classes and of community participation (such as audiences) and the grading/assessment of musicians at various levels as well as feedback from the beneficiaries. There are no harms which can arise from the purpose. The beneficiaries are the public, particularly young people, and there is no private benefit to unintended beneficiaries. Fees are charged to beneficiaries using the services, how the trustees have given great consideration to all living in the area of benefit and have set fees at a very affordable rate enabling those less privileged to afford learning music. Fees are set at £2.50 per class and the All Set project applies for funding which assists in keeping fees at a low rate.
