THE JUDGE'S LODGING TRUST LIMITED

The charity operates The Judge's Lodging Museum, a restored Victorian courthouse and accommodation for visiting judges. It also houses a substantial local history collection. It exists to interpret and preserve these, actively collects related objects and has a range of educational services, displays and events to support them. It also runs the town's Tourist Information Centre.

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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 27 years
