WALTHAM FOREST MIGRANT ACTION

We run a drop in service in Waltham Forest where migrants can come to socialize and can be given advice on immigration, welfare and housing issues, and any other help which they require and we can give.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
