ASSOCIATION FOR CLINICAL THEOLOGICAL TRAINING AND CARE LTD 

The principal activity of the Bridge Pastoral Foundation is the provision of training in pastoral care and counselling through seminars, weekend courses and conferences held in various parts of the UK. A second charitable object has been added, and the constitution amended accordingly, which is the relief of suffering for those in emotional distress.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
