BARNSTAPLE AND NORTH DEVON MUSEUM DEVELOPMENT TRUST 

Supporting the development and enhancement of the Museum and its collections through fundraising activities and associated Friends group.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
