RIDLEY HALL, CAMBRIDGE

The formation and training of men and women for ordained ministry in the Church of England and the Anglican Communion, together with the training of youth workers and pioneer ministers and the provision of continuing education for clergy and laity

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity has a robust balance sheet
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £4,311,906 available, equivalent to 26 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
