CASTLEFORD HERITAGE TRUST

The Trust promotes the rich heritage and culture of Castleford through festivals, exhibitions, education projects and events. It also works in partnership with other organisations and the local authority to deliver major regeneration projects.
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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
