STRATFORD HISTORIC BUILDINGS TRUST

Restoration and renovation of historic listed buildings in Stratford upon Avon and the Old county of Warwickshire
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • Why is the Board composition very static and has little diversity in terms of age?

Financial issues to consider:

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