LEOMINSTER MUSEUM CIO 

The charity owns and runs Leominster Museum, which is open to the public, without charge, six days a week between about Easter and the end of October. The Museum collects and preserves local material relating to Leominster and district in the form of objects, archives and ephemera, and interprets and displays this material for the education and enjoyment of the public.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
