THE FREE CHURCH FEDERAL COUNCIL (INCORPORATED)

The advancement of the Christian religion.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
