HUMAN AID & ADVOCACY

Human Aid & Advocacy supports survivors of war and persecution through sustainable aid programmes while addressing the real causes of conflict. Our Advocacy will draw public attention to the real causes of war and persecution of Muslims while providing a voice to the survivors and advocating justice for them. We aim to do this via awareness campaigns and telling stories that are often ignored.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
