PORTSMOUTH DIOCESAN COUNCIL FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

An independent charity based at the Diocese of Portsmouth that seeks to facilitate sustainable and innovative approaches to locally based social action, especially, though not exclusively, at the parish level in SE Hampshire, Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight, and beyond. It works with people of all faiths and none without preference or prejudice, and is committed to working in a fully inclusive way.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

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