THE AFOBE FOUNDATION

The Afobe Foundation primarily operates to support disadvantaged and vulnerable young people including orphans and disabled children in DR Congo and the UK.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
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
Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
