BRIGHTON SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB

Brighton Surf Life Saving Club is a charity of over 100 volunteers helping to make our beaches a safer and more enjoyable place for everyone. BSLSC volunteers have been providing beach lifeguard training and patrolling in the local community for more than 60 years..

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
