Hi Lucy,

Is there an analysis somewhere for the new outcomes in the strategy
and the Objects (M3) in the Articles of Association showing how well
it meets that core?

Increasing access to "UK cultural heritage" seems to be something in
addition to the Objects, as well as the one about "learners". These
are good areas with past projects banked, but by prioritizing these as
measurable outcomes, proposals for projects that might be focused on
say, engaging the elderly rather than educating them, or projects
where the domain of knowledge lies mainly in non-UK cultural heritage
material, such as international politics or international artworks,
would be of a lesser priority.

If the charity is spending its budget on projects in a way that looks
increasingly different to the current Articles of Association, it may
be sensible to consider amending them for a members resolution at the
forthcoming AGM rather than deferring for another year.

Thanks,
Fae
