FESTIVE 

Festive's purpose is to support Christian faith and witness in the UK's FE Colleges & Sixth Forms, aiming to envision a vibrant Christian presence there. It aims to achieve this by developing an interactive website where advice, prayer and resources can be offered to students, staff, chaplains, local churches and all those seeking involvement with the Christian faith at FE Colleges and Sixth Forms
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition
  • This charity is based in an area of extremely high deprivation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management 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
