PENRITH MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM

Penrith MRT provides a search and rescue service for climbers and fellwalkers in the NE corner of the Lake District and Cumbria. In addition, the team is available to assist the statutory emergency services in any way they can. This service is offered free, 24 hours a day and 365 days of the year.

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 a grant maker
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
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
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
