MAYDAY ROOMS

The objects of Mayday Rooms are to advance education for the public benefit by making accessible and disseminating archives, documents and practices relating to social and cultural history and emancipatory movements.

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 reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
