GOALBALL UK

To raise the profile of goalball throughout the UK, promote participation in the sport and achieve success on the international stage.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
