HEREFORD UNIT 180 OF THE SEA CADET CORPS 

Based in Hereford city on the River Wye, we are a voluntary youth organisation open to young people from Herefordshire and beyond, from 10-18 years old to come and take part in activities and learning new skills. We aim to provide fun, friendship, adventure and learning new skills through waterborne and landbased activities. Our charity is entirely run by adult volunteers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female

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
