AGAPE VOLUNTEERS

Agape Volunteers works to recruit volunteers from the UK and other countries to go and work in 3rd world schools, clinics, orphanages and other placements. Volunteers are charged a fee for their support in the country and these fees are used to support the volunteers and also put towards projects on the ground including education, healthcare and community based projects.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static
  • Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years
