The promotion of horticulture and floriculture by the holding of an annual show on the Sandringham Estate for the benefit of the public for the exhibition of flowers, fruit and vegetables and by such other means as the Trustees may from time to time think fit, and to distribute to charities, chosen annually by the Society, all funds held by the Society that are surplus to requirements.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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
