PORTSMOUTH SAIL TRAINING TRUST

The Trust uses sail training as a method of raising the aspirations of inner city young people through their teenage years. Their training is both on the water and on dry land and results in the growth of confidence, teamwork and leadership skills whilst gaining valuable qualifications to enhance their careers and enable them to actively participate in the regeneration of our community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

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
