THE NATIONAL YOUTH JAZZ ORCHESTRA LTD

NYJO is a multi-faceted organisation specialising in creating opportunities for young people to perform jazz. We run a variety of different ensembles, from quintets to big bands, giving emerging professional musicians unparalleled performance opportunities. We deliver participatory programmes nationwide, widening access to jazz. We have a strong commitment to the community at our home in Woolwich.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be considerably in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end but this has been generated by an income surplus in the latest year

Established: 46 years
