BRITISH TRIATHLON FOUNDATION TRUST 

Using the engaging sport of triathlon we encourage children to become more active, improving their health, developing their social skills, increasing self esteem and nurturing good habits such as commitment, discipline and respect.Delivered through schools, large sporting events and family friendly festivals, these swim-bike-run based participation events are free for children, aged 7-13.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
