DALIT SOLIDARITY NETWORK UK

To promote for the public benefit, equality and diversity in the United Kingdom and worldwide, and in particular, the elimination of caste discrimination on the grounds of caste and analagous systems of inherited status such as that suffered by the Dalit people (previously known as 'Outcasts' or 'Untouchables')
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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