SOUTH SHIELDS HARRIERS AND ATHLETICS CLUB

We are a local running and athletics club, based in South Shields, Tyne and Wear. We promote the sport of running and athletics and provide inclusive support to members and volunteers to improve their physical and mental wellbeing via amateur athletics and running development.
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
  • Why is the Board 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
