MISSIONASSIST 

MissionAssist comprises a huge network of dedicated volunteers, throughout the UK and elsewhere, helping overseas mission workers advance the good news about Jesus Christ, and making scripture accessible wherever they are in the world. Working in their own homes, our volunteers provide many practical, academic, and administrative services, at no cost to the mission worker.
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 well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

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