MUSTARD SEED COMMUNITIES UK 

RAISING FUNDS FOR ACTIVITIES OF MUSTARD SEED COMMUNITIES IN THE COUNTRIES WHERE IT OPERATES; CURRENTLY IN JAMAICA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, HAITI, NICARAGUA AND ZIMBABWE. OUR MAIN FOCUS IS NOW ON RAISING FUNDS FOR ZIMBABWE, WHERE WE ARE RUNNING HOMES FOR AIDS ORPHANS AND FEEDING PROGRAMMES FOR CHILDREN. WE ALSO SEND VOLUNTEERS TO WORK IN MUSTARD SEED LOCATIONS, MAINLY IN JAMAICA.
Analysis by Giving is Great

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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
