HILSEA LIDO POOL FOR THE PEOPLE TRUST 

Hilsea Lido has delivered public swimming throughout the summer season, including children's activity sessions, GoTri aquathlons & other events. The Trust continues to work towards site improvement and creating a year round venue for a variety of watersports. We are providing training opportunities for members of the community who are involved in every aspect of this fantastic project.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 14 years
