MANNA CHRISTIAN CENTRE

Manna Christian Centre is a Christian bookshop serving the churches and the community. It supplies a wide variety of Christian Resources including Bibles, Books, CDs, DVDs, Software, Cards and Gifts.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Why are there only 4 trustees?
The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age
and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years

Financial issues to consider:

Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
