DORSET ARCHIVES TRUST

Fundraising, educational lectures and social events to help fund the collection, preservation and storage of Dorset's archives.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female

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
