THE BROOKE HERITAGE TRUST
Our mission is to advance charitable aims through strategic projects that inspire learning, preserve and extend knowledge, and engage diverse communities for the greater good. We aim to achieve this mission by bringing the Brooke history and legacy to life through storytelling, record and artefact preservation and imaginative historical projects.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £55,795 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total unrestricted funds from £711,086 to £655,291. The trustees report that free reserves were in a deficit of £72,581 against a stated target of £45,000, although they note that post-year-end proceeds from a leasehold sale materially strengthened the financial position by allowing full mortgage repayment.
