Promotion of Lectures, publications etc on the history and archaeology of Leicestershire & Rutland
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,089,015 available, equivalent to 207 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
