CONCORDIS INTERNATIONAL TRUST

We work to prevent and transform violent social conflict by: researching conflict dynamics; facilitating dialogue between groups affected by conflict; building capacity in local actors, allowing them to develop their own peacebuilding solutions and mechanisms, and communicating local recommendations to policy makers.See our annual report for full details of activities from this financial year.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
