STEWARDSHIP SERVICES (UKET) LIMITED 

Stewardship's range of giving account services facilitate tax effective giving to charitable causes in the UK and beyond. Our range of legal and financial support services to Christian charities are detailed in the Trustees' Annual Report.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Established: 59 years
