ACTIVE SERVICE TRUST 

The charity supports the global ministry of David and Gwenyth Carling in strengthening the church and initiating and monitoring relief projects
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
