THE OXFORDSHIRE BUILDINGS TRUST 

To preserve for the benefit of the people of Oxfordshire and of the nation at large, whatever of the English historical, architectural and constructional heritage may exist in Oxfordshire in the form of buildings and also any garden or plant or machinery irrespective of whether it is associated with a building of particular beauty or historical, or architectural, or constructional interest.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 17 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

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
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
