LEEDS FAITHS FORUM

Our work is centred on bringing people together through their faiths and beliefs to share our commonalities and to respect the differences. It is an annual membership organisation open to faith groups who agree with the aims and aspirations of our constitution.The forum works in partnership with various voluntary, community and faith sector organisations and with Leeds City Council.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
