What your organisation does

The Company will commence its activities when it has been registered with the Commission. The Directors intend to carry out the purposes of the Company by seeking funds from trusts, foundations, corporate sponsors and individual donors and applying those funds towards the support of the charitable activities of the Ulster Orchestra, Northern

Ireland's only full-time professional orchestra. Should the Ulster Orchestra ever cease to exist or become unable to fulfil the Company's objects, the funds would be used for the advancement of the Company's objects, and in particular the study, practice and knowledge of the art of music in Northern Ireland, in whatever ways were appropriate in the circumstances existing at that time.
