CUMBRIA WHEELCHAIR SPORTS CLUB

We provide a variety of wheelchair and disability sports to disabled and abled bodied people from across the north of England and South of Scotland

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?
Why is the Board completely male?
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
