SEARCH AND RESCUE DOG ASSOCIATION ANGLIA 

SARDA Anglia is an independent voluntary organisation using trained dogs, handlers and other support volunteers to search for and rescue, vulnerable missing people. We operate principally in East Anglia and across the UK and further afield in support of partner organisations. We train dogs, handlers and support team members and are activated by the Police or other emergency services.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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