MUSEUM OF CAMBRIDGE

Mission statement: The museum aims to interpret the history and way of life of the people of Cambridge and Cambridgeshire through its collections and other resources for the education and delight of all.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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 and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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