THE ARMY MUSEUMS OGILBY CIO 

AMOT exists to represent, support and promote the Regimental and Corps museums of the British Army. Founded in 1954, the network includes over 140 Army museums and collections. Members can access funding, training and events. We provide specialist advice on governance, collections, audience and research, and represent Army museums to the wider heritage sector and external organisations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return

Financial issues to consider:

  • This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
