THE HISTORIC COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SOCIETY

To promote the study and preservation of historic commercial vehicles.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
