AFRICAN RAINBOW FAMILY 

African Rainbow Family is a charity that supports lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender intersexual and queer refugees and those seeking asylum. This includes people of African heritage, the wider Black Asian Minority Ethnic groups and anyone that identifies as an LGBTIQ refugee and or seeking asylum. We provide peer support, advocacy, advice, information and counselling.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 4 years
