THE CHARLES BURRELL MUSEUM

Active Steam Engine Museum and Educational Facility preserving and promoting the historic industrial past of the Charles Burrell Company of Thetford in Norfolk. 100% run by volunteers and financed from grants and donations and also the revenue generated from an in house shop, cafe and outside demonstrations of our steam traction engines.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
Income has been volatile recently
