EAST AFRICAN ASSOCIATION

General advice for the public, Football training for the children and young people, supporting orphans with their education in Somalia and other casual programmes mainly for the benefits of the Somali disadvantaged people including refugees and asylum seekers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
