BABS UK

Fundraising efforts from UK friends of the BABS Home in Buenos Aires. In addition donations have been received from friends who have directed that donations should be paid to other charitable organisations in Argentina.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
