SEARCH FOR COMMON GROUND - UK

In a world full of violent conflict, Search for Common Ground (www.sfcg.org) is a beacon of hope. Search for Common Ground UK is an independent registered charity in the UK.We seek to raise awareness of violent conflict across the world, and fundraise to support the conflict transformation work of Search for Common Ground internationally, through projects, talks, training and events in the UK.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
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

Established: 16 years
(18 years as a company)
