THE CYCLE (INGO)

The Cycle's commitment is to the alleviation of poverty. It focuses its efforts on sanitation, water and livelihoods (although not exclusively), and implements programmes that engages the communities in which it works, as a means to empower local people to make them self sufficient.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

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
