SEAFORD COMMUNITY TRUST

Resources were directed into the advancement of the Christian faith both in the United Kingdom and overseas and gifts were made to both individuals and institutions for this purpose.We have continued to develop our mission of establishing people in their identity, purpose and calling as children of God in the United Kingdom and abroad through ministries that demonstrate God's heart of love.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

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
Why are there only 4 trustees?
Why is the Board completely male?

Financial issues to consider:

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