THE GUILDFORD MUKONO LINK 

The Guildford Mukono Link fosters and encourages friendship links between compatible institutions in Guildford, Surrey and the District of Mukono Uganda.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is predominantly female
  • 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
