BUCKINGHAM OLD GAOL TRUST

Restoration and maintenance of 'The Old Gaol' Buckingham and its development as a heritage centre museum and source of education for the benefit of the people of Buckingham and Bucks.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
