WORCESTERSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY 

The objects of the society are to promote the study of any aspect of the archaeology and history relating to the historic county of Worcestershire, to publish the results of research and excavations and to provide lectures and excursions of archaeological, antiquarian and historical interest.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
