KING EDWARD MINE CIO 

King Edward Mine is a Cornish tin mine site, now a museum, one of only two complete sites left in the world. There is working machinery to demonstrate the processing of ore to tin concentrate, a shop, cafe and 22 acres to explore. The site has been run by volunteers since in 1987. The site is open to visitors from April until Sept each year, see www.kingedwardmine.co.uk for information.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

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