TBF TRUST 

The charity seeks to maintain, advance and promote the Christian faith, and to relieve poverty and suffering, particularly of Christians suffering discrimination and persecution because of their faith. Grants are made to enable local project partners to support persecuted Christians in their areas. Assistance is also given to connected charities in circumstances that fall under these objects.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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