THE GUNNERSBURY MUSEUM AND PARK DEVELOPMENT TRUST 

The Trust's role is to support the preservation, conservation and interpretation of the Museum collections, historic buildings and landscape of the Gunnersbury estate for the public benefit, to help develop the museum service and to support the provision of sporting and leisure facilities for the enjoyment and benefit of all. Our current activities involve raising funds for the regeneration scheme
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
