PROJECT NORTHMOOR LIMITED 

We aim to advance the public knowledge of Tolkien and the Inklings, as well as to advance education in the arts and crafts. In practice this means two main areas of activity. Online we hold fantasy writing courses, livestreams on Tolkien/Inkling subjects, and produce a weekly podcast Mythmakers. In-person we are establishing a centre for scholars/learners and hold educational courses in Oxford.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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 but the charity has substantial reserves available
