ST MARTIN-IN-THE FIELDS CHRISTMAS APPEAL CHARITY 

First broadcast by the BBC in 1927, funds raised by the Christmas Appeal are divided between The Connection at St Martin's, working with homeless people in central London, and the Vicar's Relief Fund, making small crisis grants to people in need throughout the UK.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and 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
  • This charity appears to be dormant
