REALL LIMITED 

We support the development of self-sustaining local organisations in Africa and Asia that work with urban poor communities to help realise their right to land, housing and basic services. We provide a range of grants, loans and other support that these organisations need to deliver land, housing and basic services at increased scale and in new ways.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • There is a pension deficit of £421,000
  • 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
