FALMOUTH AND PENRYN WELCOME REFUGEE FAMILIES

Falmouth and Penryn Welcome Refugee Families was established to deliver the Government's Community Sponsorship scheme which aims to resettle refugee families displaced by the Syrian war. We provide support and resources to enable refugee families to resettle in the Falmouth and Penryn area, including but not limited to language teaching, befriending and social support.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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