ABINGDON MUSEUM FRIENDS 

The Abingdon Museum Friends support the Abingdon County Hall Museum with Volunteers, fundraising, and grants for purchases and upkeep of equipment and/or collections, and to assist in the educational role of the Museum in the local community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
