SHEFFIELD INDUSTRIAL MUSEUMS TRUST LIMITED 

SIMT's main aim is the preservation and interpretation of the industrial heritage of Sheffield and its environs for the public benefit and educational purposes. The Trust manages two sites in Sheffield: Kelham Island Museum and Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet. The former is the city's industrial museum and the latter is a restored water-powered works dating from the 18th Century.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
