THE ATKINSON DEVELOPMENT TRUST

The Atkinson Development Trust exists to support fundraising that enables The Atkinson and its partners to change the lives of Sefton residents and visitors through ambitious, creative and inspiring engagement with the arts, with heritage and with literature.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
