THE CORNWALL BUILDINGS PRESERVATION TRUST

The preservation and restoration of buildings of architectural or historic interest anywhere within Cornwall or the Isles of Scilly. The charity operates on a rolling fund basis, by utilising its funds to buy, restore and sell. In the light of the increasingly difficult property market, greater emphasis will in future be put on working in partnership.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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:

Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
