GUILDFORD TOWN CENTRE CHAPLAINCY 

Guildford Town Centre Chaplaincy runs projects providing pastoral care in a range of contexts in the Guildford community including Street Angels (night time), Community Angels (at home) and Chaplaincy (in workplaces)
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

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