BROOKLANDS MUSEUM TRUST LIMITED

The preservation of the motoring and aviation heritages of Brooklands and environs; using that heritage to inspire future generations through the Museum's education service; and the provision of a world class tourist attraction whose popularity will attract visitor revenues to pay for the preservation and education.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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 age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £11,636,096 available, equivalent to 27 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
