BRIXHAM JUNIOR SAILING CLUB 

Brixham Junior Sailing Club is an RYA training centre (AALA license) run entirely by unpaid volunteers who are ONLY interested in helping the young people to learn how to sail and be safe on the water. All instructors and safety boat drivers are qualified by the Royal Yachting Association and have DBS checks. We operate two evenings per week with our 21 sailing dinghies and 2 safety boats.
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 7 years
(21 years as a company)
