FRIENDS OF THE BRITISH OVERSEAS TERRITORIES

We aim to promote, support and increase awareness of the 260,000 British Citizens that live in the sixteen British Overseas Territories. We want to celebrate the culture, bio-diversity, and history of the territories and support students from the territories studying in the UK as well as holding successful networking/social events to discuss the challenges facing the Overseas Territories.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely male
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
