BIRMINGHAM ASIAN RESOURCE CENTRE

BARC is a social welfare agency serving the needs of the Asian Community in Birmingham and provides free advice and information on social securiy, immigration/nationality, family, housing, social and health benefits etc.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static
Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
