THE SIR EDWARD HEATH CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

The charity has opened Arundells, the home of Sir Edward Heath, to the public since 2008 and preserves Arundells and its contents for the benefit of the public.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board 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
