THE NASEBY BATTLEFIELD PROJECT
Our objectives are: * Through the Battlefield of Naseby, to excite people about the past, inspire and help them to learn more about the events and ideas that have shaped England and, through that learning, come to a greater understanding of the present. * To preserve and protect the natural and cultural resources associated with the Battlefield of Naseby and the landscape in which it lies.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that total income increased significantly to £63,568, driven largely by a £49,925 grant from the National Heritage Lottery Fund, while total expenditure remained at £22,041. The charity holds unrestricted reserves of £9,044, which the trustees confirm exceed their stated policy target of maintaining three to six months of operating expenditure. The independent examiner reported no matters requiring attention, and the trustees confirmed the charity is operating on a going concern basis.
