WELWYN GARDEN CITY AND HATFIELD UNIT 353 OF THE SEA CADET CORPS 

Sea cadet cor, training young people in all aspects of sailing and seamanship.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

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
