THE TERRIER TRUST CIO 

Our activities are focused, but not exclusively, on keeping the two Terrier locomotives which we own or part-own in active service for the public benefit. The locomotives are based on the Kent & East Sussex Railway that operates public train services.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

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