NANCY BLACKETT TRUST

The charity owns and maintains Arthur Ransome's yacht Nancy Blackett, "Goblin" in his book We Didn't Mean To Go To Sea. The yacht is sailed by members of the Trust, displayed at maritime events and used as base for sessions introducing young people to sailing old boats and the works of Ransome. Membership open to all. Small grants to young sailors for relevant activities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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