LIGHTHOUSE CHRISTIAN BOOKS AND CAFE

The charity runs a shop retailing new and second hand Christian books, CDs, DVDs, greetings cards, gifts, including Fairtrade items which also incorporates a coffee shop selling snacks, light lunches and hot and cold drinks. The charity also takes items out to churches for sale there when requested and to the Mid Devon Show.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 4 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
