THIRD HOPE

Third Hope has been established to respond to the injustice of child soldiers and the use of children in warfare. Our aim is to build and resource rehabilitation centres for these children, beginning in Northern Uganda where the situation is most acute and to raise awareness of this issue through advocacy.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

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