WORLDWIDE MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER ENGLAND AND WALES

Worldwide Marriage Encounter presents training and education programmes for those who the Roman Catholic Church defines as having committed themselves to "The marriage covenant by which a man and woman establish between themselves a partnership for their whole life...". It is in this context that it also presents marriage preparation training programmes, entitled 'Engaged Encounter'.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
Income has been volatile recently
