CAMBRIDGE CONVOY REFUGEE ACTION GROUP

We organise volunteers who live in and around Cambridge working to help the refugees in Northern France and elsewhere. We send regular convoys of volunteers to Europe, and we carry out activities in UK to raise awareness of the situation. We raise funds and organise donations of clothing and other items. All the money we raise goes towards providing aid to the refugees or supporting our convoys.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
