EZRA UMARPEH LIMITED

(1) to relieve poverty, sickness and distress in particular; (2) Providing medical equipment; (3) Providing facilities in hospitals; and (4) Providing patient transport to and from hospitals.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • Why is the Board composition very static and has little diversity in terms of age?

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
