    WALTHAM FOREST RACE EQUALITY COUNCIL 

    The WFREC's activities have not changed and are in line with the activities previously stated.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers and there are significant future grants due to be received

    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
