BRITISH RECORDS ASSOCIATION 

The British Records Association, a charity established in 1932, exists to promote the preservation, understanding, accessibility and study of our recorded heritage for the public benefit. We publish a newsletter and journal, hold an annual Lecture and Conference, and award an annual prize. We also work with institutional partners to address the challenge of records at risk.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
