CROYDON SEA CADETS PROPERTY TRUST 

To safeguard the assets of the Croydon Unit of the Sea Cadets and to provide an annual grant to the unit.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
