WORDWISE

WORDWISE, a Christian resource centre, is run by 6 Trustees, and a number of volunteers. Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 10.0am to 4.00pm. Donations of time and money are given by local Christians. A small coffee shop provides a warm welcome and a listening ear. We continue to have a sense of our prominent Christian presence in the centre of Kingsbridge.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

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