ALONGSIDE AFRICA

working in Uganda offering opportunities not aid, to street children and sponsoring of children through primary schools
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
