ST BARBE MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY 

The museum records, preserves and interprets the history of the area between the new forest and the sea. The art gallery works with regional and national art galleries to stage exhibitions combining both local and national interest. Activities/events are organised 'in house' for youngsters, families, schools, the elderly and those with limited mobility.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 31 years
