CHESIL SAILABILITY

Chesil Sailability is dedicated to helping disabled people of all ages to experience sailing, most in specially adapted boats, and to helping them go as far in the sport as their enthusiasm and ability takes them. We are based at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy and most of our sailors & volunteers live in South Dorset, but we aim to exclude no one who wants to take part!

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent 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

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Established: 10 years
