ACCESSIBLE SAILING 

The charity raises funds to improve facilities for disabled and disadvantaged sailors at Farmoor Reservoir. The initial project to be funded is a stable pontoon with wheelchair ramps and an electric lift so that less able sailors can get to their boats, and if necessary be hoisted into their boats. The facility for disadvantaged sailors is open to sailors over a wide area.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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 but has stabilised more recently
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
