WORTHING 4 REFUGEES

To enable the Worthing area to be a place of welcome, safety, integration and justice for refugees and displaced peoples.
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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
