FRIENDS OF WHITSTABLE MUSEUM AND GALLERY

Supplying volunteers, equipment & monetary aid.Publishing occasional publications on a local historical theme
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • 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
