THE FRIENDS OF HOPE

The Friends of H.O.P.E funds the work of charities working in the Nilgiri Hills region of Tamil Nadu. and is principally engaged in relief of poverty and creating sustainable futures, whilst encouraging eco-restoration, bio-diversity, improving health,education/training. We also focus on culturally understanding the indigenous and poor communities in South India

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be very 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 recently
