SHERINGHAM MUSEUM NORFOLK TRUST LTD

Preserve a unique collection of lifeboats, fishing boats and displays of local history.The museum has received significant financial support from the Heritage Lottery Fund so that all the artefacts can be moved to a new museum on the seafront.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
