LONDON MIDDLE EAST INSTITUTE 

The advancement of education and research in all or any aspects of the Arab Middle East and North Africa, Israel, Iran and Turkey and to secure the publication of any such research, for the benefit of the public.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
