FOUNDATION CHURCH

We exist to advance the Christian religion; to relieve poverty and those in need by reason of ill-health, disability, unemployment or such other disadvantage; and to advance education both general and vocational for children or adults but always within the principles of the Christian faith. We operate primarily in Wokingham and surrounding area but also support Christians in Nepal.

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

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
