THE ROYAL AIR FORCES ASSOCIATION - EASTBOURNE & HAILSHAM BRANCH

To promote the welfare by charitable means of those who are serving or who have served in Our Air Forces, their wives and dependants of those who died either while serving in Our Air Forces or thereafter.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male
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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
