THE LATEEF PROJECT

The Lateef Project provides faith based psychotherapeutic counselling to people in or related to the Muslim community

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Why are there only 3 trustees?
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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