BUDLEIGH-SYRIAN COMMUNITY SPONSORSHIP 

Budleigh-Syrian Community Sponsorship works in Budleigh Salterton and surrounding areas to support the resettlement of refugees as part of the government community sponsorship scheme. We provide advice and assistance required to help families to adapt, settle and live independently within their new community. We advance the education of the public in general about the issues relating to refugees.
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:

  • The Board is predominantly female

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
