BARBARIAN SWIMMERS

To teach children from the age of 5yrs - 16yrs to swim, dive, lifesave and survival. At the age of sixteen we train them to become basic swim teachers. We are all volunteers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending is declining
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
