CHERISH FUND 

Cherish works with children and families in crisis, in Africa and the UK. In Africa we focus on education, relief and development, while in the UK we have worked with victims of domestic violence, and children in areas of high deprivation. Cherish always works direct with local service providers. All projects have been inspected by a trustee, or other nominated person.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
