THE FRIENDS OF KENT CHURCHES

Promotion of the preservation of churches in the County of Kent (pre April 1965 boundaries) and to help maintain in good order their fabric and fixtures of special importance and to provide the facilities necessary to keep them in use

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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

Financial issues to consider:

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