FISHING FOR LIFE

We have provided support and instruction to all members who have, or have had breast, cancer by teaching them fly fishing to promote healing post operations. We now have groups in, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, Avon, Pennines, Dorset and Gloucestershire.
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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending is declining
  • 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
