It will further suppvrt the Lharity to remain ainbitious and 'think bigger,. Becoming an ACE NPO has been instrumental in helping Music24 Iransfomi its organisational structures which will be essential to ensuring the future grO￿￿h and viability of the charity. This has entailed the SMT and Board adopting ACE-S robust quarterly reporting requirements which has greatly strengthened the charity-s strategic planning and the Board's ongoing development.
