SOTERIA TRUST 

Andy Economides, the director, completed speaking engagements at conferences, seminars and missions across the UK through organisations or churches with two trips to Nigeria. Throughout the year the Trust continued to oversee the development of the vocational Soteria Business School in Ibadan, Nigeria. Children, young people and school staff are sponsored through Soteria Trust.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely 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
