To proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. To teach, baptise and nurture believers. To respond to human need by loving service. To seek to transform unjust social structures of society. To strive to safeguard the integrity or creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
There are 31 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
