BRITISH CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATION 

THE BCA RUNS AN ANNUAL SPRING MEETING AT WHICH RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SCIENCE OF CRYSTALLOGRAPHY ARE PRESENTED. A QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER IS PRODUCED WHICH IS SENT TO MEMBERS.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board is completely female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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