JOHN SMEDLEY ARCHIVE CHARITABLE TRUST 

The objects of the charity are to advance the education of the public in the history of knitwear and textile manufacturing in the UK and such other parts of the world in such ways as the Trustees may from time to time think fit, including (but not exclusively) by identifying, acquiring, safeguarding, restoring, conserving, publicising, exhibiting and making publicly available an archive collection
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

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
  • Income has been volatile recently
