HUGUENOT HERITAGE CENTRE 

Operating and developing a Huguenot Heritage Centre [i.e. the Huguenot Museum] at 95 High Street, Rochester, ME1 1LX; promoting interest in, and knowledge of, Huguenot heritage; and holding, managing and conserving Huguenot and Huguenot-related collections and archives and making them publicly available for the purpose of viewing and research and the publication of the results of that research.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
