ADDLESTONE CANOE CLUB 

The Club coaches and volunteers have provided paddling opportunities in a variety of different craft to the local communities and worked with other local clubs, scout and school groups enhancing skills and personal development and training on our local water and with trips and competitions across the country and acquired a 40 year lease at nominal rent for development of future facilities
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been 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

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
