BUCKINGHAMSHIRE HISTORIC CHURCHES TRUST

Making Grants to Churches and Chapels etc of all denominations in the Archdeaconery of Buckingham

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are 15 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
