THE REFUGEE TRUST

We give support to asylum seekers/refugees who are not in receipt of state benefits or any other financial support in order to keep them from destitution. We also provide advice and welfare and other support where appropriate to asylum seekers/refugees in the East Sussex area or those with a connection to East Sussex.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 2 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
This charity appears to be dormant
