SALISBURY REFORMED SEMINARY 

The Charity advances the Christian religion for the public benefit by training and preparing ministers for reformed churches. Training is undertaken at Grove House in Salisbury and in the student's home church. Virtually all training at Grove House is provided by trustees who receive no fees for their services. It is therefore a Seminary for ministers provided by ministers.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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
