THE FRIENDS OF MOYSE'S HALL MUSEUM AND ASSOCIATED COLLECTIONS

WE SPONSOR LECTURES AND OTHER EVENTS AND SUPPORT THE MUSEUM IN ANY WAY WE CAN. IN JUNE 2010 WE PRODUCED 300 BOOKLET'S CALLED 'PERFECT ARRANGEMENTS IN TIME' ABOUT FREDERIC GERSHOM-PARKINGTON (1886-1952) WHO BEQEATHED ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S MOST IMPORTANT CLOCK AND TIMEPIECE COLLECTION TO THE TOWN OF BURY ST. EDMUNDS. IN PAST 12 MONTHS WE ENABLED & CONTRIBUTED TO PURCHASE OF ITEMS FOR THE MUSEUM

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
