GENERAL TRUST FUND OF THE CHURCH UNION

The Charity publishes an in-house magazine The Church Observer, the magazine "Together", sponsors a number of annual lectures, operates a Website, publishes books under its Tufton Books imprint and seeks to uphold Catholic doctrine, worship, order and discipline in the Church, by renewing and extending Catholic faith and practice in the Church of England and elsewhere.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
