OPENING YOUR HEART TO BHUTAN

The charity raises funds with the aim of preventing or relieving poverty in Bhutan by providing or assisting in the provision of education, training, healthcare projects and all the necessary support required to said inhabitants

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board composition appears to be rather 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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
