TO RECEIVE, STORE AND PRESERVE THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION OF LETTERS, DOCUMENTS, MISCELLANEOUS MATERIALS AND ARTEFACTS RELATING TO THE W H SMITH FAMILY AND COMPANY PRESENTLY OWNED BY THE W H SMITH FAMILY AND COMPANY AS A DISCRETE ARCHIVE FOR THE BENEFIT OF HISTORIANS, SCHOLARS AND THE PUBLIC GENERALLY

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 2 trustees
The Board is completely male

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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
