CATHOLIC TRUTH SOCIETY (DIOCESE OF SALFORD) 

The advancement of religion by promoting knowledge of the Catholic faith and its practice among both Catholics and Non Catholics via the circulation of books and publications.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
