TITHE BARN TRUST 

We provide access to the Medieval Landbeach Tithe Barn and its surrounding green space. We offer free or low cost entry to our open days, events, talks and education visits. Access is open to all. Our aim is to provide a sustainable future for the Tithe Barn, so that it generates its own income for its ongoing maintenance and community use.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

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 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
