THE DANIEL ADAMSON PRESERVATION SOCIETY

To restore and bring back into public service the steam tug/passenger tender "Daniel Adamson" built at Tranmere in 1903.
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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
