MERCIAN REGIMENT MUSEUM (WORCESTERSHIRE)

The Museum exists to tell the story of the Regiment's (and its predecessors' and successors') history and achievements by collecting, preserving and displaying the Regiment's collection of artifacts from its formation in 1694 to the present day for the benefit of present members of the Regiment, the residents of the County, those further afield with a specialised interest and visitors to the area.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
