BRECON MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM

To relieve suffering and distress amongst persons endangered by accidents or natural hazards normally in South and Mid Wales, but without geographical limitation and to provide adequate arrangements for the secure and efficient search and rescue of any person or persons so endangered
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

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