TAMESIDE CANAL BOAT TRUST

The charity's objects are the relief of persons who are physically disabled or mentally handicapped by the provision of facilities in the interests of Social Welfare which it undertakes by organising trips for the public on a boat owned by the trust and run by volunteers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • 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
