THE BRITISH MOTORCYCLE CHARITABLE TRUST 

Assisting in the preservation of such British motorcycles as are of historic and scientific importance and providing for their display to the public.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
