The provision of museum facilities for the collections of the Lancashire Fusiliers and the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers and to provide access for people of all ages, background and level of ability to these collections for their enjoyment, education and research, whilst ensuring that the collections are appropriately safeguarded.
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 age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
