SOUTHEND PIER MUSEUM FOUNDATION TRUST LIMITED 

Maintain for the public benefit a museum for the acquisition, preservation, exhibition and interpretation of material evidence and associated information relating primarily to Southend pier and its history
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 34 years
