The object of the trust is to assist financially with the preservation, repair, maintenance and preservation of Christian churches and chapels in Dorset. The trustees decide as a matter of policy from time to time which of those things shall be aided by grants made by them.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are 16 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

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
Established: 53 years
