CITY OF GOD CHRISTIAN CENTRE

In expansion of our religion service, the charity opened a new centre in Sunderland, Uk. Also made grant donations to other charity such as the Ameobi hardship funds for international students. As part of our advancement of education, the charity made an education enlightment trip to the city of Blackpool for his members. Small donations were also made to individauls who were under extreme poverty

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?
The Board has little diversity 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
