YMDDIRIEDOLAETH ADDOLDAI CYMRU WELSH RELIGIOUS BUILDING TRUST

The Welsh Religious Buildings Trust aims to secure the conservation, repair and maintenance for future generations of a representative selection of non-Anglican redundant religious buildings in Wales which are of particular historic or architectural significance. These buildings are important parts of our rich and diverse man-made environment and contribute much to Wales' unique identity.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
This charity is based in an area of high deprivation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
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
Income has been volatile recently
