THE PROCLAMATION TRUST

The principle activity of the charity is the advancement of the Christian Gospel and in particular to preach and teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ as set forth in Scripture.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
This charity has a robust balance sheet
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £10,583,794 available, equivalent to 83 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
