CENTRE FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF DEVELOPMENT AND HUMAN RIGHTS

We work with various communities in South East London and assist them to be economically independent through entrepreneurial and business development schemes and training programmes. At the same time, we also provide free legal advice and representation to individuals that we consider to be indigent and/or incapable of navigating the complex legal process that they are often faced with.

Analysis by Giving is Great

This charity has a robust balance sheet
There has been reasonable growth in spending since inception
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 3 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
