CAMBRIDGE MUSEUM OF TECHNOLOGY 

The Museum preserves and demonstrates the industrial and technological heritage of Cambridge for the inspiration, enjoyment and education of all. This is achieved through the collection, preservation, display and interpretation of objects and stories relating to Cambridge's industrial past, supported by programs of events and activities for all ages.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been 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:

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