THE LONDON CITY MISSION

The London City Mission exists to share with the people of London, patiently, sensitively and individually the transforming love of Jesus Christ , and to enable them to join His Church.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
This charity has a robust balance sheet
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
Why are there 15 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £60,433,000 available, equivalent to 58 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
