    THE WIMBLEDON IN SPORTING HISTORY TRUST

    Protect, display and promote, the local Sporting History of Wimbledon and its immediate neighbours, based primarily, in and around Wimbledon. Primarily for historical and educational purposes. We will rely on volunteers and raise funds primarily via donations and grants, with a small element from the sale of products and memorabillia.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
    • The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received

    Financial issues to consider:

    • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
