THE LEATHERCRAFT TRUST

Education in the culture and heritage of leathercarft to the general public by means of curating and exhibiting an extensive and well regarded collection of leather items and archival material relating to the leather industry in Northamptonshire and beyond.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
