COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES 

We are working to develop, promote, sponsor and deliver initiatives that will have a real, positive and lasting impact in the lives of people from socially and economically disadvantaged communities in the UK and in Kenya.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be very static

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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 20 years
