MOUNTSORREL MUSEUM AND HERITAGE TRUST 

We aim to maintain Mountsorrel's flora & fauna by maintaining a Site of Importance CBCW5814/2(25498) by traditional methods like hand scything. We aim to inform on Mountsorrel's past at our Monthly Meetings. Our Museum opened in September 2019 to display our artefacts and photographic material on Mountsorrel subjects to inform and educate visitors. Our Website also offers heritage information.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
  • Income has been volatile recently
