UGANDA RIVER OF LIFE MINISTRIES

Receiving funds from UK donors to support of the work of River of Life Church, Masaka, Uganda. These funds are used to -1. Spread the gospel and teachings of Jesus Christ. 2.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 3 trustees

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
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
