BRIGHTON TRAM 53 SOCIETY

We are restoring to running order the last Brighton passenger tram car left in the world. We are currently rebuilding the body and have now started to tackle the electrics. We own a truck and other electrical components. We allow public access to the tram and we display frequently at shows to raise money and to educate people about this project and also have a second Brighton tram, works car 1.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
