GLOBAL CHARITIES

The charity improves the lives of disadvantaged people by working with small charities across the UK. We work across four key areas: providing shelter and safety, supporting physical and mental health, improving life skills, and preventing isolation. We award grants, raise awareness and run learning programmes for small charities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
