BABBACOMBE CLIFF RAILWAY CIO 

The day to day running of a funicular railway built in 1926
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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