EAST CORNWALL SEARCH & RESCUE TEAM

The charities activities include providing support to the statutory emergency services in the Search & Rescue of missing, lost, injured people in any outdoor environment within East Cornwall, and in addition will provide resilience across the country to other Mountain Rescue/Search & Rescue Teams

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 several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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 has been volatile recently
