THE WANDLE INDUSTRIAL MUSEUM 

A museum providing information about the history of industrial activity in the Wandle Valley with particular reference to the River Wandle and its mills both at its premises in Mitcham and by way of outreach to schools and community centres
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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

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
