LITTLEHAMPTON HERITAGE RAILWAY ASSOCIATION

The Principal objective of the Trust is to preserve and operate the historic miniature railway which runs along the seafront at Littlehampton in West Sussex and to develop the heritage centre attached thereto for the benefit and education of future generations.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
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:

Why is the Board 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
