    THE LANDMARK TRUST 

    Acquires smaller historic buildings that are at risk and in some way significant. These are restored to the highest standards of conservation using traditional materials and skills whose survival is thus also supported. Anyone can stay in the restored buildings to learn about their significance in time and place, giving them a sustainable future. Public Open Days provide further public access.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
    • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
    • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • This charity uses a corporate trustee

    Financial issues to consider:

    • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £66,605,000 available, equivalent to 48 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
    • There is a pension deficit of £268,000
    • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
    Established: 59 years
