PENHURST RETREAT CENTRE CHARITABLE TRUST

The Trustees aim to pursue the objects of the charity through the running of the Manor House at Penhurst as a specialist Retreat Centre. The main emphasis is to provide retreat facilities for individuals and small groups returning from stressful environments overseas or within the UK, or preparing to serve overseas through both led group Retreats and the opportunity for private reflection.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Established: 27 years
