SISTERS OF THE CROSS AND PASSION CIO 

The charity is currently dormant. It has been set up to continue the work of the unincorporated charity of the Sisters of the Cross and Passion and will engage in a broad range of charitable activities: education, health care, pastoral, spiritual, social care and financial help in the UK and Ireland. In all our activities we will try to respond where the need is greatest.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £39,930,892 available, equivalent to 26 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
