THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF PUBLIC EDUCATION IN THE AREAS OF SOCIAL AND CULTURAL AWARENESS, HEALTH CARE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND WORLDWIDE TOGETHER WITH OTHER SUCH CHARITABLE PURPOSES AS THE TRUSTEES SHALL FROM TIME TO TIME THINK FIT
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
