DISABLED SAILING ASSOCIATION LTD

We aim to give people with a disability the opportunity to enjoy a safe and pleasurable experience of seagoing sailing including short local cruising of about two to three hours and for the more adventurous, longer coastal passages.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 18 years
