DORSET RACE EQUALITY COUNCIL 

To work towards the elimination of racial discrimination and promote equality of opportunity and good relations between persons of different racial groups throughout Dorset including the towns of Dorchester, Weymouth, Poole, and Bournemouth and the areas of north, west, south and east Dorset.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
