THE ROYAL SIGNALS MUSEUM

THE MUSEUM ENCOMPASSES A WIDE RANGE OF DIVERSE ACTIVITIES TO GUARANTEE INCOME AND TO GUARANTEE THAT WE CAN MEET THE BROAD RANGE OF RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE ARMY, THE ROYAL CORPS OF SIGNALS AND VISITORS TO THE MUSEUM

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
