British-Ukrainian Aid (BUAid) supports people suffering from the armed conflict and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, including the injured and wounded, orphaned children, the elderly, internally displaced persons and families who have lost their breadwinners.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
