GLYN VALLEY TRAMWAY TRUST

Conservation, education, training and research associated with the former Glyn Valley Tramway and the communities it served. Restoration of the Tramway as a working heritage attraction which will provide training opportunities and educational facilities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly 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
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
