WILTSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY

The WANHS objects are to educate the public by promoting, fostering interest in, exploration, research and publication on the archaeology, art, history and natural history of Wiltshire for the public benefit. An accredited and designated museum, library and art gallery with temporary exhibitions are open to the public throughout the year and an education service provides activities for all ages.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
