DARK PEAK MUSIC FOUNDATION
We provide opportunities for young people in this area to develop their interest in music and the lasting friendships that grow out of making music together. The Foundation provides opportunities for players from beginner, right through to the highest levels to play together in a progressive family of ensembles, under the guidance of our expert team of professional musicians and directors.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the main organisation reported a headline surplus of £27,309 with closing reserves of £44,028, though this is partly due to timing differences in grant income and restricted funds. The subsidiary ensemble OOPS also reported a surplus of approximately £3,139, increasing its reserves to £6,832. Both entities are described as financially stable and sustainable.
