WATERSPRITE FILM FESTIVAL LTD

The charity advances education and promotes learning and creative collaboration with the public, with a particular reference to the making and distribution of film, television and other art forms of the moving image. We promote these arts amongst young people and emerging talent by holding film festivals and public screenings, operating both in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

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

This included helmets, gloves, gum shields, pads, additional heavy bags as well as PPE for strict cleansing and sanitising of gear; before, during and after each session. We would like to use this as a contribution towards our ongoing core costs. Like many organisations, we have to source funding to be able to operate our day to day work. This has been challenging during the pandemic and successful funding would be greatly appreciated.

We use boxing as a ....more Based in Birstall, West Yorkshire. The Training Cave is a boxing club that is affiliated with England Boxing. Our coaches are also licensed by the British Boxing Board of Control. We use boxing as a vehicle and we strive to make a positive impact. Through work with local estates, parks and partnerships with council teams, we create a boxing environment that benefits the wider community. Through our affiliation with the Fight for Peace Organisation, we work with local schools and other charities such as the Huddersfield Town Foundation to ensure we reach those, through boxing, from a variety of different backgrounds. The culture within the Training Cave has been shaped over time by its core values. These are an articulation of how the team behaves, the decisions it makes, and the energy that drives it when it’s at its best. Courage, Fun, Unity, Excellence and Leadership are the core values that drive us. The Training Cave understands that culture is not determined by its philosophy, but rather by an outsider’s point of view including those that take part in our outreach work, the local community, sports officials and people walking into the gym for the first time. For this to be achievable, our core values have been, and are still lived by, talked about, and built into everything that the Training Cave does. We help develop life skills through mentoring, teaching and supporting our young people through our youth projects and various initiatives. We build stronger communities through our outreach work and social action projects. We encourage young people and help facilitate volunteering and leadership roles via our various programmes. Improving mental health is at the centre of all of our activities. The benefits of physical activity, learning, group work, community work and target setting/ reaching has proven positive changes in improving people's mental health. We have had countless young people discuss with us the benefits of our endeavours at the Training Cave. We help develop employability skills for young people by hosting various sessions on confidence building, CV writing, interview techniques, communication skills, self-awareness and many other attributes. We also host volunteer training programmes and have helped 100's of young people volunteer for various organisations, including our own, to gain experience and be able to demonstrate skills learnt. We help reduce crime and anti-social behaviour by providing a safe and inclusive space for personal development and physical fitness, led and supported by trusted role models. We have previously hosted programmes for young offenders and work with local authorities to gain referrals for those who would benefit from our work the most.
