KENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY

Excavating archaeology is the life blood of this science. Thus, the Society is conducting its owns excavations that are advertised and freely open to the public to attend. In addition, the Society also supports both in terms of expertise and financially, community-based archaeology in Kent.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
