CYNON VALLEY MUSEUM TRUST

To advance the education of the public in the local history and heritage, preservation of buildings of historic and/or architectural importance and the industrial heritage of the Cynon Valley and elsewhere by the provision and maintenance of a museum and gallery in Aberdare

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be 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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
