ABOVE WATER 

Above Water is passionate about water safety and believes the best way to guard against drowning is to educate. AW sends qualified teachers who are also open water lifeguards into schools and or communities to teacher our own WATER SAFETY programme. This programme comprehensively promotes using our water environments for health/well-being and delivers water safety and drowning prevention.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • 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
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
