HAY CASTLE TRUST

The Company's objects are to preserve the heritage of Hay Castle in Hay-on-Wye and to advance educationon the architecture of the building, local history and the arts by the purchase and preservation of the buildingand its surrounding land.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
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:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £9,626,846 available, equivalent to 216 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
