MANCHESTER CENTRAL LIBRARY DEVELOPMENT TRUST

The main objective is the advancement of education by the enhancement of libraries, learning, advice and information, archives and other related services for residents of Manchester and citizens of the UK. The charity is currently seeking funding to support educational and cultural activity within the recently re-launched Manchester Central Library and its work with neighbourhood libraries.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
