ENFIELD BANGLADESH WELFARE ASSOCIATION 

We work to relieve economic deprivation and social isolation of the Bangladeshi and other ethnic minority community, particularly the elderly, the unemployed and the younger generation through educational & skills development projects. We organise weekly drop-in sessions for the elderly including keep-fit classes, welfare & healthy living advice. We promote cultural heritage & community cohesion.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 28 years
