THE 82045 STEAM LOCOMOTIVE TRUST 

The charity is constructing a British Railways standard class 3 steam locomotive. All locomotives of this class were scrapped at the end of the steam era on Britain's railways. The locomotive is of significant historical importance. It represents the last of a class of locomotives that were designed to operate on branch and suburban lines
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
