LIFELINES INTERNATIONAL FUND FOR EDUCATION

VOLUNTEERING AND TEACHING IN RURAL INDIA, FUND RAISING TO SPONSOR EDUCATION PROJECTS, SUPPORTING THE ACTIVITIES OF LOCAL CHARITIES IN THE EDUCATION SECTOR, MENTAL HEALTH AND DISABILITY SERVICES IN UK AND WORLDWIDE

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £5,595,484 available, equivalent to 114 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
