THE TEMPSFORD MUSEUM AND ARCHIVES

We provide research and general public access to the museum's archives relating to Tempsford village and environs as well as RAF Tempsford. Also provide access to family history archives. The museum opens on the 1st Sunday of every month and also provides a meeting place for the community. Exhibitions are changed bi-monthly, talks and visits to historical locations are arranged.

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests 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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
