ELY MUSEUM CIO

The provision and maintenance of a museum in or near the City of Ely for the public exhibition of articles illustrative of the history of Ely and the fenland, and specimens of the fine and useful arts, ethnology, archaeology, geology, botany and natural history. The extension and preservation of the collection. The provision of lectures and other facilities of education. The promotion of research.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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