OSWESTRY CHRISTIAN CENTRE

Propagating the sale of Christian Literature and educating the general public in Christian matters in the general area of Oswestry, and to develop the centre.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board 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
Income has been volatile recently
