COMMUNITIES FIJI BRITAIN

To promote social inclusion for the public benefit amongst Fijian citizens and their dependents residing in the UK, in particular but not exclusively Fijians who are serving or have served in the armed forces of the United Kingdom and their dependents, who are socially excluded on the grounds of their ethnic origins, relieving their needs and assisting them to integrate into society

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
Latest return is overdue

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
