SUFFOLK PRESERVATION SOCIETY 

Our aim is to ensure that the distinctive character of Suffolk's built environment, coastline and landscape is protected. Where change is proposed the society will use its expertise and resources to play a proactive role in all the relevant processes so as to ensure that change is undertaken sympathetically and to the highest standards of design and sustainability.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • This charity appears to be dormant
