WEST WILTS YOUTH SAILING ASSOCIATION 

THE ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN TEACHING YOUNG PEOPLE AGED 8 -18 YEARS HOW TO SAIL FOR OVER 50 YEARS. WE OPERATE THREE EVENINGS A WEEK FOR A 26 WEEK SEASON. EACH EVENING YOUNG SAILORS TAKE TO THE WATER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A RYA SENIOR INSTRUCTOR AND A TEAM OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED INSTRUCTORS. TEACHING CONSISTS OF WATER TUITION AND CLASSROOM WORK. SAILING IS FUN!
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
