THE BENGALI EDUCATION CENTRE 

MOTHER TOUNGE,SUPPLIMENTARY CLASS,PROBIDE EDUCATION FOR NEEDY PEOPLE,SPORTS,& CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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:

  • 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
