COMPASSION FOR COMMUNITIES

We raise funds to support sustainable development projects in economically disadvantaged communities as a way to improve the conditions of life and achieving economic growth and regeneration. Current focus is introducing the drip irrigation system of agriculture in rural communities in Zimbabwe - sourcing drip irrigation equipment, training farmers on the system and promoting community cohesion.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
