BREATHING SPACE, COVENTRY 

Breathing Space Coventry is a haven where the general public can experience renewal and reconciliation, rest and restoration, and where conversations unfold that draw our spirits towards God. We offer quiet days and day retreats, spiritual companionship and shared refreshments for those living and working in deprived urban environments, in noisy city precincts and in harried, energy-sapping jobs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
miles
