ROTHER VALLEY RAILWAY HERITAGE TRUST

RVRHT makes grants towards the reconstruction of the historic trackbed and structures on Col Stephens' Light Railway between Robertsbridge and Bodiam in Sussex

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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