THE DISCOVERY SAILING PROJECT

The Discovery Sailing Project is a Scout based organisation, headquartered on the River Hamble. We provide Offshore Sail Training in 3 coded yachts to young people and those with visual or audio impairment, either as individuals or in groups. The Project provides a progression through its Watch Leader training scheme, encouraging young people to develop further towards skipper

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
