THE VACATION TERM FOR BIBLICAL STUDY

The charity runs a summer school with a programme of lectures at a high educational level given by scholars who are expert in biblical study, theology and related subjects. Instruction is also provided in biblical Greek and Hebrew at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. The programme is delivered at a price which compares very favourably with other residential summer schools.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
