Welcome Hubs, social events, exhibitions, festivals, ad hoc advice and support, English classes, translation/interpretation services to promote social inclusion and prevent discrimination for refugees, migrant workers and asylum seekers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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

Financial issues to consider:

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