WEST WILTS YOUTH SAILING ASSOCIATION

THE ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN TEACHING YOUNG PEOPLE AGED 8 -18 YEARS HOW TO SAIL FOR OVER 50 YEARS. WE OPERATE THREE EVENINGS A WEEK FOR A 26 WEEK SEASON. EACH EVENING YOUNG SAILORS TAKE TO THE WATER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A RYA SENIOR INSTRUCTOR AND A TEAM OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED INSTRUCTORS. TEACHING CONSISTS OF WATER TUITION AND CLASSROOM WORK. SAILING IS FUN!

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

The latest accounts were qualified
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
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
