MIDDLE EAST MEDIA

Support for media production and education

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
