POSTAL HERITAGE COLLECTION TRUST

Educational charity working to make the Royal Mail Archive and the Postal Heritage Trust collection accessible as widely as possible.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
This charity appears to be dormant

Established: 20 years
