FRIENDS IN CHRIST TRUST 

We provide counseling support for elderly, infirm or stressed people. This is within the context of a caring Christian Community of Friends living ordinary lives. Our aim is to help people to come to an understanding of the work of the Holy Spirit through a relationship with Jesus Christ so that the assisted person learns to develop a lifelong friendship with Jesus Christ as Lord.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

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 4 occasions over the last 5 years
