THE CHARITY FOR LICENSED MINISTERS IN THE DIOCESE OF CHELMSFORD 

The prime purpose is to provide financial assistance to "poor clergy" throughout the Chelmsford Diocese. This includes those whose own parents are now among their dependants. Support extends into retirement and-after death-continues to provide grants for surviving spouses and dependant children.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 14 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
  • 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
miles
