THE NATIONAL TRUST FOR PLACES OF HISTORIC INTEREST OR NATURAL BEAUTY

To look after places of historic interest or natural beauty permanently for the benefit of the nation across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
  • There is a pension deficit of £9,288,000
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
