THE LAKE DISTRICT SEARCH AND MOUNTAIN RESCUE ASSOCIATION

We promote, co-ordinate and secure adequate search and rescue arrangements, primarily in the mountainous areas of Cumbria. We undertake publicity where necessary in order to inform or educate the public in all aspects of mountain safety. We represent and support all our member rescue teams with help, guidance, training, funding and advice, including fundraising for them.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely male

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
