    THE BIRMINGHAM BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION 

    Practical and psychological support to Bosnian community in Birmingham
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
    • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
