POLICY CENTRE FOR AFRICAN PEOPLES

The Policy Centre for African Peoples (PCAP) was created in 2008 to enable African and disadvantaged individuals of all ethnic origins to improve their lives through education, leadership and engagement. Thus, PCAP envisions a world where personal and collective prosperity, justice and common good stem from better education, leadership and social engagement. For more info visit www.pcap.org.uk
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be 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
