ACROSS BORDERS

Across Borders operates to raise the profile of people seeking refuge in the Middle East. Working with partner organisations in the region we seek to strengthen their service provision by the provision of technical support and funding, at the same time as raising the interests of people in the UK in their situation.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

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
