THE HISTORY HUB LIMITED

We aim to archive and record our history to see how a town shapes the lives of its residents and residents shape the life of a town. This is done by means of archival/documental research and capturing oral histories by interview (written, audio and visual).
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material 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:

  • The Board is completely female
  • Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
