STEVENAGE WORLD FORUM FOR ETHNIC COMMUNITIES

We support ethnic community groups (members) by building their capacity through provision or resources and assistance within the boundaries of our funding. We do this by provision of free services with admin and office support, access to computers and internet, meeting room. We provide limited help with funding applications, networking, training, counselling and advocacy. Annual Celebrate event

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
