AVIATION WITHOUT BORDERS 

Providing humanitarian assistance through aviation services: air cargo shipments of medical and other supplies for and with other charities; aviation discovery days for disabled or disadvantaged children in UK; escorting of sick children to UK for medical treatment; plans to support our Dutch sister organisation (LZG) in operating a small light aircraft for humanitarian missions in East Africa.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
