HELP OUR WOUNDED ROYAL MARINES AND SUPPORTING ARMS

To help members and former members of the Corps of Her Majesty's Royal Marines and those that provide supporting services to or in conjunction with them.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently

Established: 11 years
