SHARED CHURCHES (HERTFORDSHIRE AND BEDFORDSHIRE) LIMITED

The principal activity of the Charity in the year under review continues to be to promote and advance the development of such ecumenical work of any Church recognised by Churches Together in England as shall further the Christian religion.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
The Board is predominantly 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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
