BUXTON UNIT 497 OF THE SEA CADET CORPS 

Unit of the Sea Cadet Corps, with about 50 cadets, boys and girls, aged 10 to 18, who meet twice a week in the evenings for training and who sail on Saturday mornings in the summer.

Each unit is an independent charity.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 53 years
