SUNDERLAND AMATEUR BOXING CLUB

To promote community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities for amateur boxing and other activities capable of improving physical health
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 2 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

  • The latest accounts were qualified
  • 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
