ALTON BUILDING PRESERVATION TRUST

Preservation of the architectural and constructional heritage existing in and around Alton, Hampshire
Analysis by Giving is Great

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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
