NORTHUMBERLAND ARCHIVES CHARITABLE TRUST 

Northumberland Archives Trust works alongside the Northumberland Archives Service to sustain, promote and enhance access to Northumberland's Archives, the county's most important records from throughout history, for the benefit of people everywhere, now and in the future. It does this by raising funds, generating support and extending knowledge of this rich academic and community resource.
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 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
