CHURCHES VISITOR AND TOURISM ASSOCIATION 

To promote among churches and others the need to promote churches open to visitors and tourists, and to educate churches and others as to the benefits to individuals and communities that can arise from such a welcome.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • 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
  • There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
