ANIMAL WELFARE JAPAN

The principal activity of the Society is the raising of funds by subscriptions, donations and other means for remittance to the Japan Animal Welfare Society in Tokyo and to other welfare organisations in Japan in order to relieve the suffering of animals there.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
