SW LONDON VINEYARD 

Christian church
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,354,905 available, equivalent to 26 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
