MARINE IN THE COMMUNITY 

We tackle local issues e.g. loneliness, isolation, poverty, community safety, physical and mental health and well being identified through consultation with users/potential users, and local, regional and national statistics, e.g. we deliver projects tackling need through sport and social engagement.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
