THE NELSON MANDELA LEGACY TRUST (UK) 

After discussions with the Nelson Mandela Foundation, Mandela Rhodes Foundation and Nelson Mandela Children's Fund, it was agreed that these organisations are now well placed to lead and co-orinate joint global fundraising approaches - this was not the case when the Trust was conceived.In the future the Trust will be used to enable joint activities in the United Kingdom if and when required.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static and 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
