REFUGEE EDUCATION FOR EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

REFEO helps refugees and asylum seekers who are aged 18 years old and over to access higher education, online accredited training, mentoring, and employment. We also contribute to closing the digital gap programme, by donating laptops and tablets.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 4 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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