FISHING INTO THE FUTURE 

Our mission is the 'Chart a course towards sustainable and prosperous UK fisheries'. We work with industry and a range of stakeholders to take action that makes a difference at critical points in relation to our mission. We work mainly in the fields of industry generated data, industry innovations, training for sustainability and providing a coordination and stakeholder engagement mechanism.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • There are 22 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

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