BANGLADESH MULTI-PURPOSE CENTRE 

EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT & TRAINING, HOUSING AND GENERAL ADVICE
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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
