THE WORLD SPEEDWAY RIDERS ASSOCIATION 

The charity's objectives are to establish a Speedway Museum (completed in 2007) and to maintain/operate it for general public benefit. The Charity took a breather during 2009 but has started on new projects in 2010
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

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
