THE CHRISTIAN WORD TRUST

The main purpose of the Trust is to raise funds to enable it to give donations to young Christian people and organisations in Redditch and the surrounding area, who are involved in Christian youth, schools and outreach work. A secondary function is to provide a source of Christian reading and other material for the people of Redditch and the surrounding area.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
