THE CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE TRUST

We promote the Christian faith by providing residential and day conference facilities at below commercial rates to Christian organisations.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities

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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
