    MING-AI ASSOCIATION

    THE PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY OF THE CHARITY IS THAT OF RUNNING ADULT EDUCATIONAL COURSES AND PROMOTING EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS AND EXCHANGES WITH THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received backing from a grant maker

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
