DUDLEY CARIBBEAN AND FRIENDS ASSOCIATION

The charity's principle activity was to manage the two projects run by the trustees, Impact Training and the African Caribbean Befriending Service to provide service directly to the elderly and to contribute to the socio-economic wellbeing of the community. The charity continue to work in partnership with Dudley MBC

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 37 years
