WESSEX ACADEMY FOR FIELD ARCHAEOLOGY LTD 

The charity organises training to enable anyone, regardless of age, ability or experience, to gain the skills that will enable them to confidently and responsibly explore the past. This is achieved by running a series of weekend training courses on all practical aspects of archaeology from carrying out geophysical surveys to interpreting finds. In addition the charity runs a training excavation.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
