THE SOUTH LAKELAND CHRISTIAN TRUST 

The charity exists to further Evangelical Christian work in South Lakeland, Cumbria UK. To this end the charity supports one worker in the village of Coniston who works with young people in promoting the good news of Jesus Christ.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
