ALFOXTON PARK TRUST 

Alfoxton Park is a Grade II listed building of national importance to the arts as the home of William Wordsworth when he and Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote the landmark 'Lyrical Ballads'. We are undertaking a major program of heritage restoration and environmentally-exemplary renovation works with a view to opening it as a heritage attraction, literary events venue and residential retreat centre.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • There are only 4 trustees

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 was significantly lower than spending in the latest year but the charity has substantial reserves available
