THE PICKERING BECK ISLE MUSEUM OF RURAL LIFE

Beck Isle Museum cares for around 60,000 objects which are used to catalogue and preserve the history of the local market town, with particular reference to Pickering and the wider Ryedale area. Focus is placed on education through the use of objects in displays, exhibitions and events, and the museum seeks to engage schools, groups and the local community through outreach programmes.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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
