THE VINE MAIDSTONE 

The Vine's objective for the public benefit is to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs appearing in the Articles of Association, in Maidstone and elsewhere in the UK and across the world, as the trustees from time to time determine, and to fulfil such other purposes as are exclusively charitable.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
