GLOUCESTER BOATHOUSE LIMITED

Gloucester Boathouse Ltd will build, maintain and manage a new boathouse and associated facilities to primarily promote rowing and canoeing on the Gloucester-Sharpness canal. The new boathouse has been designated as British Rowing's regional centre for Adaptive Rowing - rowing for those with disabilities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely male
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: 12 years
