CHRIST FOR THE WORLD

Advancement of Christianity, education and relief of poverty globally through evangelism, missionary work, humanitarian aid, youth work and Christian education.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received Government grants
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely male
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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
