REFUGEE BIRIYANI & BANANAS

Refugee Biriyani & Bananas aims to provide urgent aid and basic necessities to vulnerable people worldwide. This includes food, water, shelter items, shoes, clothes, season specific aid such as firewood in the winter and mosquito repellent in the summer, medical supplies, hygiene kits and baby products. We also raise awareness on the journeys of displaced people and advocate for them.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?
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
