CHRIST APOSTOLIC CHURCH (VINEYARD OF COMFORT ) EAST LONDON ASSEMBLY

A place of service beyond religion. A gathering where diverse needs are met ranging from counselling to advise of all sorts with potential of sign posting to service providers. Collaborative works with existing charities accessible to both young and old, but based on Biblical and scriptural doctrines. Activities include Family gathering, Women Night Shelter (winter only) Community research etc.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
