RYDE UNIT 510 OF THE SEA CADET CORPS 

Instruction and training based on the customs of the Royal Navy. We deliver training within our unit and the Solent, but we also have access to training courses run by the Sea Cadet Corps at District, Area and National level.
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
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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
