MINEHEAD AND COAST DEVELOPMENT TRUST

MDT works with the community to deliver social, economic and cultural regeneration projects. MDT's main aim is to acquire the redundant Old Hospital and develop it as a town-centre community hub including an information centre, the Library, a museum and space for events. MDT currently runs Minehead Information Centre and employs a manager to support the town's economic regeneration strategy.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 3 trustees?
Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
