LONDON SOMALI COMMUNITY ALLIANCE (LSCA)

The Objects of LSCA are to relieve poverty, sickness and distress and to preserve and protect the health of Somalis living in the London Borough of Newham and the surrounding areas in particular but not exclusively, through the provision of advice, assistance, representation, counseling and translation and interpretation services in matters including health, housing and welfare benefits.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
