INTERNATIONAL SERVICE FELLOWSHIP TRUST

The charity exists to make Jesus Christ known through wholistic ministry, in partnership with the global church, amongst the neediest people of Asia and the Arab World and in Great Britain & Ireland.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
This charity has a robust balance sheet
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
There is a pension deficit of £157,000
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 31 years
