ASHRAM COMMUNITY TRUST

Religious fellowship is provided at four national gatherings during the year, open to members and non-members. Our property in Burngreave, Sheffield, is being renovated, both the communal areas on the ground floor and the residential first floor, but programmes of biblical and interfaith study and discussion are being held in local groups around the country, currently using Zoom.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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
The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

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
