THE AFNAN LIBRARY TRUST 

Maintaining, developing and expanding the collection of books, manuscripts and archive material of the late Hasan M Balyuzi as the core collection of a research library (The Afnan Library) in accordance with Mr Balyuzi's testamentory wishes.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
