MILTON KEYNES CHRISTIAN FOUNDATION LIMITED

In all our activities we seek to express the basic belief that all people and things have an essential value and inherent potential and we try to work in ways that enable some of this potential to be released. Our main activities continue to be focussed around four areas:-?+?-? Groups on the margins-?+?-? Regeneration-?+?-? Sustainability-?+?-? Economic and social justice
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appeared to be considerably in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
