OPT IN (OVERSEAS PARTNERING AND TRAINING INITIATIVE)

OPTIN works with partner healthcare organisations in developing countries. UK professionals give their time to work with and train resident staff. OPTIN meets the travel and other costs of these professionals and helps to build lasting partnerships.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
