THE FRIENDS OF MICHAELHOUSE LIMITED 

The charity is established to advance the Christian faith; to advance education, particularly in the arts; and to follow such other charitable purposes as the trustees shall from time to time determine.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female
  • 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
  • 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
