THE ATTINGHAM TRUST FOR THE STUDY OF COUNTRY HOUSES AND COLLECTIONS IN BRITAIN 

The Charity runs a programme of intensive, residential courses each year giving attendees a chance to study selected historic houses and collections on specially arranged visits accompanied by specialist tutors and lecturers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,324,839 available, equivalent to 47 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
