THE SEDGEFORD HISTORICAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH PROJECT

SHARP is a long-term, multi-period, multi-disciplinary independent research project set up to investigate the entire range of human settlement and land use in a typical north-west Norfolk parish, from the earliest times to the present day.

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
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
Over half the Board have joined recently

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
