BANGLADESH WELFARE SOCIETY OF BARNET

Bangladesh Welfare Society of Barnet (BWSB) We seek to meet the needs of the ever growing Muslim community in and around Barnet by providing and facilitating good practice in faith, community development, educational services and interfaith social cohesion. Additionally, we engage our local youth in various individual and team activities providing them with key skills in a fun and safe environment

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
