MINISTRY OF BUILDING INNOVATION 

MOBIE advances home design and innovative construction thinking. We inspire and educate the future creators of the built environment in the UK and abroad, bringing new generations into building professions through exciting technical courses and schools outreach. We help to fundamentally transform the way we design, manufacture and construct homes to genuinely transform the way we live in Britain.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly 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
