INDEPENDENT DIPLOMAT LIMITED

To promote conflict resolution, reconciliation and relief of poverty to benefit the public by increasing skills/capacities in diplomacy of those who are in need of those skills and who have the capability to promote conflict resolution and reconciliation within government and in international institutions, including the UN.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 2 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
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
