MIDLAND AND GREAT NORTHERN JOINT RAILWAY SOCIETY

A professional charitable organisation, adding historical value to the knowledge of the general public about the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway and heritage railways in general, in a manner which is both educational and fun for the members and the general public.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received income from Government contracts
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
