THE MILESTONE SOCIETY

The Society aims to identify, record, research, conserve and interpret for public benefit the milestones and other waymarkers of the British Isles. The national committee promotes the Society and sets its policies, campaigning on a national basis. On the ground, work is carried out by local groups organised on a county basis, each with a County Representative or Co-ordinator.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests 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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
