KARTFORCE

KartForce, is set up to get injured troops into the exciting world of Motorsport through Karting.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why are there only 2 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • All of the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
