UNITED KINGDOM ANTARCTIC HERITAGE TRUST

Est in 1993, the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust exists to promote a greater public engagement with Antarctica, through heritage conservation, innovative storytelling and effective advocacy. Working in partnership to deliver large scale projects, we aim to inspire and engage audiences with the heritage of this fascinating continent and find new ways to actively inform its future.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
