FRIENDS OF BENNERLEY VIADUCT

The Friends carry out conservation and improvement on and around the Grade II* listed Bennerley Viaduct on the Derbyshire-Nottinghamshire border. We inform the public through guided walks, talks, publications, exhibitions, outreach activities, social media and a website. Our work with schools delivers learning about local heritage. We raise funds for conservation and improved access to the site.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is predominantly male
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
