CLAPTON AND HACKNEY UNIT OF THE SEA CADET CORPS

TO HELP YOUNG PEOPLE (9 - 18 YEARS) TOWARDS RESPONSIBLE ADULTHOOD BY ENCOURAGING VALUABLE PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES AND HIGH STANDARDS OF CONDUCT USING A NAUTICAL THEME BASED ON THE CUSTOMS AND DISCIPLINE OF THE ROYAL NAVY
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why is the Board completely female?

Financial issues to consider:

  • 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
