It provides a vibrant and engaging museum and Treasury display of silver together with inspirational education and arts experiences and access to SCC Local Records digitally. Several thousand photographs of local historical interest are available for public viewing.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
