ALEXANDRA PARK AND PALACE

The principal activity of Alexandra Park and Palace Charitable Trust is the maintenance as an open space and provision of the Park and Palace for the free use and recreation of the public forever as defined in the 1985 Act.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised

Established: 43 years
