To raise funds and receive grants and donations to help refugees in any part of the world, in particular to support their education and training; to raise awareness among our local community about refugees and those seeking asylum; and to work with other charities and development organisations to help in the relief of poverty of refugees and those seeking asylum.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
