THE COUNCIL OF ASIAN PEOPLE (HARINGEY)

The main purpose of the Council of Asian People (CAP) is to improve the quality of life of people in Haringey and neighbouring boroughs. Its facilities and services are available to all members of the local community but is targeted, in particular, to people from the Black Asian Minority Ethnic (bame) communities including lone parents, women, children, old people and people with disabilities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
