GREENWICH REFUGEE AID AND COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE

Humanitarian Aid collection.Local community aid.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
