TABS INTERNATIONAL 

We provide opportunities for disadvantaged young people from the UK to volunteer in Christian community development and aid projects in Africa that we also support. We provide a short gap-type experience for the volunteers that encourages the development of their life-skills, widens their knowledge of the world and affords them the chance to give something back through supporting others in need.
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

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