PLYMOUTH (DRAKE) UNIT 270 OF THE SEA CADET CORPS

Plymouth Drake Sea Cadets are a uniformed youth organisation based on the traditions of the Royal Navy. Sea Cadets range from 12-18 years with a junior section for 10-12 year olds. We also have a Marine Cadet Detachment.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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
