DEVON & EXETER MEDICAL HERITAGE TRUST 

DEMHT cares for a collection of old medical medical equipment at St Nicholas Priory in Exeter. We give exhibitions, talks, handling sessions to the public at the Priory and elsewhere to groups around Devon. We provide training and other opportunities in curating and research into the history of medicine and managing a historical collection.

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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 was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
