RURAL MUSEUMS NETWORK GROUP

A range of activities to develop the collection, care and interpretation of agricultural heritage material, including the production of digital resources.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
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

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

Established: 19 years
