HARINGEY SOMALI COMMUNITY AND CULTURAL ASSOCIATION

Haringey Somali Community & Cultural association provides housing, welfare rights & health, advise and support to Somali refugees and asylum seekers. The Association also runs housing floating support services that cater for vulnerable Somali adults. Other services of the Organisation include mother tongue and supplementary classes as well as the organisation of summer trips and cultural events

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
