CHRISTIAN LIFE FELLOWSHIP 

We have extended our building & facilities and are doing even more work in our community to help local people. We have initiated outreach ministries to the youth in the area and plan assistance to the housebound and those living alone.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
