AMMAN VALLEY RAILWAY SOCIETY

Preserving the industrial and railway heritage of the amman valley, and to promote and encourage their useage for the benefit and education of the communities it serves and the general public

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely 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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Spending is declining
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
