POURCHISTA FOUNDATION 

Our aim is to ensure the survival of Zoroastrianism by supporting new initiatives towards this end. We provide 2 safe centres: for young Zoroastrian women to learn skills from specialist teachers enabling them to earn an income while maintaining solidarity within our ever-dwindling community; a senior citizens day centre with amenities for exercise, medical checks, meals and traditional passtimes
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • This charity appears to be dormant
