THE NORFOLK AND SUFFOLK BROADS CHARITABLE TRUST 

NSBCT exists to support other organisations and charities dealing with the Broads. For example our first initiative was to organise grant funding and project supervision for audio guides at The Museum of the Broads; subsequently the Trust has helped to fund numerous projects within its remit of heritage and conservation together with navigational improvements.(Last updated October 2017)
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
