WORDS OF LIFE MINISTRIES

The promotion of the recorded and written ministries of the late Rev. Francis Dixon, and the support of the itinerant ministry in th U.K. and overseas of Rev. David Tucker.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
The Board composition appears to be rather static

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
