DEVON CHRISTIAN YOUTH CAMPS TRUST 

Provision of camps and houseparties to facilitate the preaching of the Christian gospel and to teach and encourage young people how to live in accordance with the teachings of the Bible
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
