CONCERTEENIES
Concerteenies is an award-winning producer of musical events and activities for young children and their adults in Sheffield and beyond. We present concerts, creative music projects, and online events in early years settings (nurseries, schools, childminders), within the community (through venues and care homes), and at home, in addition to providing training and resources.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £1,668 for the year, resulting in unrestricted reserves of £703, which is well below the trustees' stated policy target of £18,560 to £37,120. The trustees acknowledge this low level of free reserves does not provide the desired financial security but conclude the charity remains a going concern based on secured future funding and contingency plans. The charity relies heavily on grants and donations, with total income of £203,905 largely offset by charitable expenditure of £196,133 and fundraising costs of £9,440.
