BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR LOCAL HISTORY 

The Association's purpose is to encourage and assist the study of local history throughout Great Britain as an academic discipline and rewarding leisure pursuit for both individuals and groups. The Association also regularly organises visits to places of interest and co-sponsors local history conferences.
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
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • There are 14 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
