The Charity Commission for England and Wales have made some changes to the questions asked as part of a charity’s annual return. These apply for annual returns being completed where the financial year end is 1 January 2023 or later.
There are some new questions around finances and structure – which will mean groups need to provide extra information compared to the previous year, but we don’t think this will be problematic for most groups.
We are thrilled to announce the shortlisted nominees for the 2023 Making Music Awards, followed by a celebratory evening on Thursday 5 October where we announce the winners and honour the creativity and efforts of the leisure-time music community.
The awards celebrate Making Music's nearly 4,000 member groups and their activity, and the often unrecognised talent which helps the sector to flourish across the UK. Prizes range from promotion across Making Music’s networks to opportunities for other musical projects.
