BOURNE FREE

Promote equality and diversity for the public benefit in the UK and in particular but not exclusively the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation by raising awareness in issues affecting said persons in particular by promoting and staging an annual LGBT festival.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
