THE CRESWELL HERITAGE TRUST

Promoting for the benefit of the public, the conservation and preservation of the geology, archaeology, ecology and landscape in the Creswell Crags Heritage Area and the surroundings; of taking steps to secure the removal of inappropriate development from the Creswell gorge and at other sites the Trust is seeking to enhance and preserve; to advancing public education and promote research.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why is the Board completely male?
Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
