PRIDE OF SEFTON 

We Cruise the Leeds Liverpool Canal and enjoy trips through the Iconic Liverpool Link, we only have one boat, but hopefully in the near future we will have Pride 3 and more trips arranged. We continue to work with C&RT and local schools, we also continue to support groups in their fund raising. 2014 seen us take part in "Barging round Britain" with John Sergeant screened in April 2015.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 13 years
