DA'ARO YOUTH PROJECT

Da'aro Youth Project currently run two projects for young asylum-seekers and refugees from the Horn of Africa. Injera Club is our weekly youth club, running in south London. We also provide casework support to young people who attend our youth club and who are dealing with a problem and want support or advice.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • 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
