NEEDS AFRICA

We are a group of people passionate about the growth and development of Africa. We work with and support organisations in Africa, helping them to do their job more effectively by providing them with the resources, finance and expertise to help achieve their goals. We seek to invest in the continent one person at a time, so that African lives are enriched and empowered to build the continent.

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:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be very 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
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
