THE EASTBOURNE SOCIETY

Running the Eastbourne Heritage Centre where exhibitions and talks are staged; campaigning on planning issues relevant to Eastbourne's built heritage; organising monthly talk evenings; publishing quarterly magazine.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
