THE HIGHBURY CENTRE

Provision of guest houses for the reception, accommodation, boarding and maintenance of foreign and home missionaries and Christian friends.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,746,155 available, equivalent to 53 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
