WORLD HARVEST CHRISTIAN CENTRE

Advancement of Christianity and Education, and Relief of Poverty
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • Why is the Board composition very static and has little diversity in terms of age?
  • Returns have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

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