THE ADVANCEMENT OF HINDU RELIGION, CULTURE AND TRADITIONS FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN PARTICULAR BUT NOT EXCLUSIVLY THROUGH THE ORGANISATION OF CULTURAL FUNCTIONS AND HINDU RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS (INCLUDING FESTIVALS SUCH AS DURGA PUJA AND KALI PUJA)
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
