MANCHESTER VICTORIA BATHS TRUST 

The Trust's main activities are to safeguard the Victoria Baths building complex and work towards its preservation and repair, for public access. We work in partnership with a variety of agencies, including Manchester City Council to manage the building, research its history and organise and publicise events.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent 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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
