KINGSLEIGH CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

KCF meets on Sundays and midweek in church members' homes. We run a vibrant and successful community -serving youth club, THE QUBE, a free face-to-face debt advice centre, called King's Money Advice (KMAC), and we are involved in an active primary school partnership, seeking the improvement of children's welfare and family life in the Blenheim area. We are involved in the school where we meet.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

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
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
