SOCIETY OF THE SACRED CROSS

The Society provides and maintains a Retreat/Guest house which is open to anyone whether Christian or not.Educational groups visit for days or weekends and occasional residential retreats are offered.The sisters spend two hours each day in personal prayer and sixteen and a half hours each week in public worship.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board is predominantly female
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
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
