To help improve aviation and maritime safety and build a Just Culture by managing an independent and influential programme for the confidential reporting of human factors related safety issues.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition
