THE TRUST FOR CHILD SOLDIERS

TCS supports young people in northern Uganda who have been affected by exposure to armed conflict, in order to relieve poverty and mental distress and promote well-being. In 2022/23 we worked with over 170 families, providing support through grants for school fees and small businesses; and advice and befriending. We have also provided help with medical costs to over 250 children and adults.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
