    KING'S OWN ROYAL BORDER REGIMENT MUSEUM FUND 

    The Museum exists to collect, document, preserve and interpret the material evidence and associated information relating to the Regiment's History from 1702 to the present day, for public benefit to the best standards for the education and enjoyment of the inhabitants of Cumbria, North Lancashire, present and former members of the Regiment and their families and visitors present and future
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
    • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
