CROYDON AFRICAN CARIBBEAN FAMILY ORGANISATION UK 

We 'Care for Elders' in the Community running an Adult Day Centre 5 days per week. Many suffer with dementia. We tend to their physical and mental well-being and help them escape loneliness. We also 'Care for our Youth' through our summer school and other work and 'Care for Community' through our social club and events.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be 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
