MEHR CULTURAL FOUNDATION 

To provide assistance and support for children and young adults from impoverished households and families in connection with their education, health and well being through financial or material supportal grants
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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
