OVERSEAS MEETING ROOMS TRUST 

Advancement of evangelical Christian religion, in particular the acquisition and purchase of land and buildings for use as Meeting Rooms for Christian worship in overseas countries, and to promote education in Christian knowledge.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

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
