THE ASSOCIATION OF JAMAICANS (UK) TRUST 

The charity supports grassroots organisations, students and Senior Citizens. We also provide a befriending scheme, a drop-in centre and regular social meetings to reduce social isolation and enhance the circumstance of our members. We work with the Jamaican High Commission and others to champion the interest of Jamaicans in the UK, celebrate our cultural heritage and annually mark our independence
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
