THE BRITISH MARITIME CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

Promotes Britain's maritime industries, commerce and defence through education, training and research. In particular, sponsors Maritime Media Awards, Britain and the Sea conferences, Maritime Briefs and Memorial Book for those Lost at Sea for whom there is No Known Grave
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
