BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF FORMER UNITED NATIONS CIVIL SERVANTS BENEVOLENT FUND

"The object of the BBF is to relieve in cases of need, hardship or distress members of the Association, their spouses, widows, widowers and other dependants. Support is not limited to members but is also available to any former employee of the United Nations or of its Specialised Agencies provided they are resident in the United Kingdom."
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
