EAST GRINSTEAD MUSEUM

The Museum holds a collection of records and artefacts related to the town of East Grinstead and its surrounding villages, and to the Queen Victoria Hospital and the WW2 Guinea Pig Club, much of which is on display to the general public at its premises in East Grinstead.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
