CIVIL AIR SUPPORT 

The Charity's aims are: To promote for the benefit of the public, the preservation and protection of people, property and the environment by the use of aerial observation over land and water, in order to identify situations where people and/or property and/or the environment is at risk and by working with such other bodies as deemed appropriate.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
