PARHAM AIRFIELD MUSEUM 

Museum in Suffolk. Our purpose is to advance the education of the public by the display and preservation of aeronautical equipment and other items relating to the 390th Bombardment Group (H) and other units of the United States Army Air Forces, and the Auxiliary Units and other branches of the secret British Resistance Organisation. Thus our collections relate largely to World War Two.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
