RYE HARBOUR SAILABILITY (RHS)

Rye Harbour Sailability enables people with difficulties to enjoy the fun and freedom of sailing with an experienced helm and crew. This gives opportunities for sailors with learning difficulties, dementia, mild cerebral palsy and autism, for example, to build their confidence and apply this in their day to day activities. Local volunteers help run social and training events.
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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
