THE GOSPEL STANDARD TRUST

To support Gospel Standard churches and charities with grants, loans and advice and for the publishing of Christian literature to promote the gospel throughout the world.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
