SOLUTIONS NOT SIDES

The object of the CIO is the advancement of education, in particular but without limitation:(a) of young people and people who work with young people, predominantly in the UK;(b) through facilitating dialogue with regards to diverse narratives on the subject of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its resolution; and(c) through teaching conflict resolution skills.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely male
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
