HUMAN RIGHTS AT SEA

HRAS undertakes advocacy, research, investigations, case study development, international programmes, projects and campaigns and educational development for individuals and organisations in the field of maritime human rights.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
