THE MALTINGS (BERWICK) TRUST

The Maltings (Berwick) Trust seeks to inspire, engage and entertain the people of Berwick-upon-Tweed, North Northumberland and the Borders. We inspire through presenting world-class performances and exhibitions; we engage through learning programmes and by working collaboratively; and we entertain through a diverse programme of events.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
