THE BEVERLEY BARGE PRESERVATION SOCIETY 

The Charity operates community boats based on Beverley Beck in East Yorkshire, with its restored Humber Barge Syntan acting as a museum, meeting space and mobile resource to show the history and operation of craft on Beverley Beck. This is enhanced by our vessel Sun, used as a trip boat to carry passengers including those with mobility issues and our small training and trip boat Mermaid.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
