Exclusive: Vital UK music charity to shut

Exclusive: Vital UK music charity to shut

Further to our report in cracks in the Voices Foundation, which helps improve singing in  schools, we now understand from the charity’s annual report that it is to be shut down.

At the end of a fairly positive year-end report, the chair wrote: Since the year-end, the decision has been made to close the charity, therefore the 31 July 2023 accounts are not prepared on a going concern basis. 

Some explanation may be due.

The charity’s work reached 35,000 pupils each year. Its disappearance is a great loss.
