ERITREAN COMMUNITY CENTRE 

Educational Charity - working with young refugees in the provision of mother-tongue and after school classes
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There is only 1 trustee

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
