RHODES BIRTHPLACE TRUST

Rhodes houses a museum, auditorium, meeting rooms, dance studios and a cafe/bar area. The complex provides local access to the arts and facilities for a range of cultural activities including dance, theatre, education and cinema. The Bishop's Stortford Museum is a valuable educational resource and exhibits both African and local collections with occasional special displays.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
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
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
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
