THE MINSTER FELLOWSHIP 

To advance the Christian faith for the benefit of the public in such parts of the UK and/or the world: through Christian Mission and evangelism, including through the establishment and operation of Christian ministries or churches; pastoral care and the promotion of theology, education and resources; and to prevent and relieve poverty and care for those in distress.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
