BRISTOL CCRC TRUST 

A young, diverse and vibrant resourcing church with a vision to play its part in the transformation of society and revitalisation of the church and to engage with people who would not consider themselves to be church-goers in dynamic and relevant ways. They aim to be a community that exists for the benefit of those outside the church.
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 several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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 was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
