THE WELSH RESERVES' AND CADETS' CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION 

The Trustees will make grants, at their discretion, in support of the Reserves and Cadets of the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force, as provided by the charitable purposes of the CIO.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
