MANZI FOUNDATION

- Assisting children from poor families and background to access to education by helping them with fees and education materials.- Assisting long-term unemployed people and unskilled individuals to access employment and work experience.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently
  • and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years

Financial issues to consider:

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