BRIDGING DIFFERENCE

Bridging Difference promotes religious,racial and cultural harmony for the public benefit generally and particularly amongst young people.Our key areas of work are:(1) organising inter-cultural activities,such as sport and art,to facilitate dialogue and reconciliation.(2) breaking down and examining stereotypes,prejudices and differences in order develop a society that deals well with difference

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 2 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be very static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
