ISLAMOPHOBIA RESPONSE UNIT

The Islamophobia Response Unit is a charity dedicated to supporting victims of Islamophobia. It was founded in response to rising anti-Muslim attacks, and the growing tide of anti-Muslim sentiment across the UK. This service is for those who suffer or have suffered, an incident of hate crime, hate incident, or discrimination as a result of their Muslim faith (or perceived Muslim faith) in the UK.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently 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
  • Why are there only 3 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

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