SPON END BUILDING PRESERVATION TRUST 

Restoration of a range of medieval and later buildings at 119-123 Upper Spon Street, Coventry and operation of those buildings for the benefit of local people, including the creation of an educational resource and heritage visitor attraction; "the Weaver's House".
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

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
