FRIENDS OF H.M.S. CONWAY 

Preservation and maintenance of memorabilia relating to HMS Conway. The Charity has a chapel and museum at Birkenhead Priory which houses many items of historical interest relating to the ship. Occasional services are held in the chapel during the year including an annual Remembrance service in November.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are 15 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • The Board is predominantly 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
