SWEISSY UNION

To enhance community cohesion and empower community members by way of, sharing information that is beneficial to us as a community, engaging members in training, education, and health, and signposting them to vital services. We also operate in Sierra Leone as a charity, we promote and facilitate education and training; we also provide relief to victims in times of man-made or natural disaster

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be rather 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
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
