THE WARMINSTER ATHENAEUM TRUST

The charity has roots back to 1850, with the current trust created in September 2000 by merging the Athenaeum Trust and the Bleeck Memorial Hall charities. The Trust serves residents of Warminster and the surrounding areas in the provision of Education, Community Support and Entertainment, for both residents and visitors to the town.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
