With the shared goal and desire to see an end to global poverty, SWIDN plays an active role supporting the charitable and voluntary organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty in any part of the world by providing them with advice, information and training and services to enable them to pursue their charitable purposes and improve the efficiency and management of their resources.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Established: 7 years
