RAPID RESPONSE NORTH WEST

We also provide Safety Patrols; preventing suicides around the Wirral Peninsular. Our aim is to also provide water search & rescue in the area that we operate.
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 and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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