AFRIKAN CHILDREN AND FAMILIES SUPPORT LTD (ACAFS)

To relieve sickness and promote the health, education and social welfare of young people and their families from the African communities in the UK and internationally

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 2 trustees
The Board composition appears to be very 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
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
This charity appears to be dormant
