FORWARD IN FAITH 

The Charity supports The Society, under the patronage of St Wilfrid and St Hilda, as an ecclesial structure with a ministry and sacraments in which the faithful can have confidence, so that they can flourish within the life and structures of the Church of England. It provides advice and support to The Society's bishops, parishes, clergy and laity, and to the Catholic Group in General Synod.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board is predominantly male
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
