RACE COUNCIL CYMRU

Race Council Cymru (RCC) was established in 2010 by ethnic minority grassroots communities as an overarching umbrella body with the mission to bring together key organisations within Wales to co-operate on promoting integration, championing justice and race equality. RCC works to promote race equality, Art, heritage and cultural activities for black and minority ethnic communities across Wales.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
