THE WAR OFFICE LOCOMOTIVE TRUST

Principal focus is the conservation and restoration of an ex WW1 light railway narrow gauge steam locomotive built by Hunslet of Leeds. We also hope to help educate about WW1, the light railways used and their influence, the general use of narrow gauge railways, the changes in British engineering influence around the world, traditional engineering skills, and the role heritage has in the UK today.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently
