SIR JOHN SOANE'S MUSEUM TRUST

The objects of the Trust are to advance education in arts and architectural heritage related to the interests, life and works of Sir John Soane in so far as may be exclusively charitable, in particular (but without limitation) by promoting or supporting such of the charitable objects of Sir John Soane's Museum as the Trustees of the Charity determine from time to time, and for no other purposes.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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