ROCK UK ADVENTURE CENTRES LIMITED

We are a Christian organisation that is passionate about developing young people, bringing adventure into learning in the outdoors, to transform lives.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
