BLACKWATER BARRACUDAS (SWIMMING FOR THE DISABLED) 

To provide facilities associated with swimming and water therapy for the disabled. To also help people recovering from accidents and limb or joint replacements, who need to regain their mobility. We also organise social functions during the year for members to meet and socialize. Many of our elderly members are living on their own and it is a way of meeting together on our Friday mornings
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 25 years
