OUTWARD BOUND GLOBAL

Outward Bound Global protects the use of the Outward Bound trademarks and issues licences to Outward Bound centres worldwide. It promotes best practice across the Outward Bound global network and oversees the application of agreed risk management standards. The Outward Bound centres worldwide are primarily of a non-profit nature and benefit young people through physical endeavour in the outdoors.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • 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:

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