ST JAMES DEEPING SIGNAL BOX GROUP

We are rebuilding our local signal box in Deeping St James to show the public how a working signal box used to operate in the mid 1900's, as well as giving talks about railway and local heritage. We will work in conjunction with local businesses and charities.
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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
