ATWELL WILSON MOTOR MUSEUM 

Atwell Wilson Motor Museum maintains a collection of vehicles on display to promote public education, appreciation, knowledge and enjoyment. The arrangement of the vehicles and information displayed on each provide the public with the history, evolution and development of motor vehicles and their design, technology and accessories. Some vehicles have unique heritage and previous ownership.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
