ISLE OF WIGHT NATURAL HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY

We hold both field and indoor meetings throughout the year to assist in the study of natural history, geology and archaeology in relation to the Isle of Wight. We also manage a biological database and provide records to the Isle of Wight Council.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 17 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

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 recently but spending has been maintained
