MANNA CHRISTIAN CENTRE

Manna Christian Centre is a Christian bookshop serving the churches and the community. It supplies a wide variety of Christian Resources including Bibles, Books, CDs, DVDs, Software, Cards and Gifts.

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 and there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 4 trustees
The Board composition appears to be rather static and has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 22 years
(25 years as a company)
