KENDAL MOUNTAIN SEARCH & RESCUE TEAM

The Charity recruits, trains, maintains & equips a team of volunteers who are able to search for and rescue any persons or animals in distress primarily in the Lakeland & Cumbrian fells. The Team also will assist the emergency services in swift water rescue incidents, bad winter weather and urban and rural searches for lost or vunerable persons.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year

Established: 16 years
