LIVING WATERS CHRISTIAN CENTRE (LEWISHAM TRUST)

To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the statement of beliefs appearing in the Trust Deed.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Why are there only 4 trustees?
Why is the Board completely male?
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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