BRADFORD AMATEUR ROWING CLUB

The charity is a rowing club and provides all the facilities, equipment, training and support services that members need to enjoy the sport of rowing. The charity maintains a stretch of the river Aire to ensure that it remains rowable.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are only 3 trustees
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 8 years
