HUMBER COMMUNITY ADVICE SERVICES LIMITED

To provide information, advice and guidance to members of the minority ethnic communities in Hull and the surrounding areas.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 4 years and the current period appears to have been extended
