THE CONISTON INSTITUTE AND RUSKIN MUSEUM

Provision and maintenance of a village hall and the provision and maintenance of a museum for the exhibition of items in connection with the life, work and times of John Ruskin and the life and history of the village of Coniston and its environs.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
