THE MILTON KEYNES ROSE TRUST

The Trust has created an iconic gathering place in central Milton Keynes, enhanced by a unique piece of public art known as the MK Rose. It takes the shape of a flower and where the 'petals' intersect granite columns have been erected. The MK Rose was officially opened on 9/11/13. Since then there has been a series of events,attracting upwards of 40-50 people; some events many more.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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 well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

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 was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
