BRIDGE INTERNATIONAL DIALOGUE LIMITED

Bridge International Dialogue is a forum for young people to debate global challenges, raise awareness, shape public agendas and foster mutual understanding beyond national boundaries.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age
  • Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
