ADVENTURE SUNDERLAND LTD 

THE CHARITY'S PRIMARY AIM IS TO PROVIDE OUTDOOR EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE USING ADVENTUROUS ACTIVITIES TO CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR PERSONAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,353,558 available, equivalent to 41 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
