FELLOWSHIP AND AID TO THE CHRISTIANS OF THE EAST

FACE supports Eastern Christians, in particular those who suffer discrimination or persecution in the Middle East, through locally organised projects that enable them: to remain in their homelands; to maintain their homes, schools, churches & hospitals; to create employment opportunities; to promote interreligious dialogue; and to be mediators and peacemakers in their multi-faith communities.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending since inception
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

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 but spending has been maintained
