XENIA

Migrant women learning English (sometimes called learners) attend welcoming workshops alongside other fluent English speaking women (sometimes called speakers). These weekly workshops currently take place in community spaces in London, primarily delivered in partnership with the Hackney Museum. Travel expenses and childcare are provided for women in need of them.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Why is the Board completely 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
