SUN SCREEN IT FOUNDATION LIMITED 

Sunscreen IT Foundation is there to provide access to IT services for all who need it. This year the charity has focussed mainly on supporting its existing project in Ghana and beginning a new deployment in Sierra Leone working with the charity Lifeline, supporting the fitting and technical assistance of their new IT Lab. The project was completed in February and support is now being maintained.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
