ASIA HOUSE

THE AIMS OF THE CHARITY ARE- TO PROMOTE APPRECIATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF ASIAN COUNTRIES AND SOCIETIES, THEIR CULTURES, ARTS AND RELIGIONS- TO FOSTER CLOSER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE PEOPLES OF ASIA AND THE UK- TO EDUCATE THE CHILDREN OF THE UK ABOUT THE COUNTRIES OF ASIA IN PREPARATION FOR THE WORLD OF TOMORROW IN WHICH ASIA WILL PLAY A LEADING ROLE

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £9,103,157 available, equivalent to 58 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 25 years
