LIFE WITH HOPE TRUST

The charity, under the name Battle Baptist Church, advances the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination, provides education for the public benefit, meets the practical and spiritual needs of the local community and engages in other similar charitable activities as the trustees may decide from time to time.

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 age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

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