FISHING FOR HEROES

Fishing for Heroes CIO was formed from Fishing for Heroes (1135355) in 2022.We continue to support both Veterans and Serving personnel of all British and Commonwealth Armed Forces who are suffering from mental health or physical illness as a result of their service. We help in the improvement of their wellbeing, delivering both individual instruction and get togethers across England and Wales.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
