To improve the heritage provision in Suffolk for the benefit of everyone
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
