BARNSTAPLE PILOT GIG CLUB CIO

The objectives of the club are to promote community participation in healthy recreation by the provision of facilities for sea rowing, in particular Cornish pilot gigs for the benefit of the public.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Spending is declining
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
