A Drop In service event held at London school on first Sunday of every month where it seeks to help relieve hardship amongst those seeking asylum and those granted or refused refugee status, particularly by the provision of some financial support, social support, friendship, food, clothing, furniture and equipment, interpreting, translating, advocacy, legal advice, immigration advice and advocacy.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and 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 recently
