THE UPHILL SKI CLUB OF GREAT BRITAIN 

To provide opportunities for people with disabilities to take part in snowsports, to help improve their enjoyment and standard of performance at a level of their choice, and to help transfer the benefit that they gain from taking part to their everyday life.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
