MONTGOMERY COMMUNITY BUILDINGS PRESERVATION TRUST 

To preserve for the benefit of the Electoral Division of Montgomery, of the Nation, the historical, architectural and constructional heritage that may exist in and around the Electoral Division of Montgomery in buildings (including any structure or erection, and any part of a building so defined) of particular beauty or historical, architectural or constructional interest.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
