NORTH CRAVEN BUILDING PRESERVATION TRUST

We operate in the North Craven area of Yorkshire where we (a) Preserve built heritage which is of particular beauty or historical, architectural or constructional interest; and(b) Acquire, preserve, document, interpret and make accessible exhibits, objects and collections relating to the social, agricultural, industrial and built environment through the provision of a museum service

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
This charity has a robust balance sheet
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,716,250 available, equivalent to 68 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
