HAY2TIMBUKTU

Hay2Timbuktu helps to raise and administer funding for charitable activities - principally medical and educational - conducted under the auspices of Hay-on-Wye's twinning with Timbuktu in Mali, West Africa
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:

  • The Board is completely female
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
