LANCASHIRE COUNCIL OF MOSQUES 

LCM is an umbrella organisation representing Mosques and religious teaching institutions in Lancashire.

We seek to promote the awareness of the faith of Islam, fostering understanding and better community relations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
