THE KIMMERIDGE TRUST

In Kimmeridge, Dorset, we are in the process of establishing an accredited museum to conserve "The Etches Collection" of marine fossils, which is unique and of world importance. The new building will also provide Kimmeridge with a state of the art community cultural centre, for the benefit of the Kimmeridge residents in particular and the wider community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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
