AFGHAN SOCIETY IN THE WEST MIDLANDS

We wish to improve the life chances of young people by helping with educational attainment and improving skills of people who have multiple needs (lack of English, literacy, under privileged, living on low incomes). We are aiming this project at the Afghan Community and. people from non-Afghan backgrounds participating in this project, if they wish to do so.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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