HERTFORDSHIRE YOUNG MARINERS' BASE

The Herts Young Mariners Base provides a wide range of Outdoor Educational activities mainly to young people but also to adults.These are mainly around canoeing & kayaking, sailing, climbing, caving providing both skills and personal development opportunities

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
