SOUTHWARK UNIT 348 OF THE SEA CADET CORPS

The Sea Cadet Corps is a national youth organisation for boys and girls aged 12 and 18 (with many units also having Junior Sea Cadets aged 10 and 12). It is open to all young people, regardless of race, religion or colour and draws its members from widely different backgrounds.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 2 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely female?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

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
