HERTFORDSHIRE YOUNG MARINERS' BASE

The Herts Young Mariners Base provides a wide range of Outdoor Educational activities mainly to young people but also to adults.These are mainly around canoeing & kayaking, sailing, climbing, caving providing both skills and personal development opportunities
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
