BEACHY HEAD CHAPLAINCY TEAM LTD

BHCT is a Christian Chaplaincy specialising in crisis intervention and search and rescue at the notorious suicide spot of Beachy Head. In addition to cliff edge intervention the charity is also involved in preventative and post-intervention support. Those rescued travel from all over the UK and also from abroad. Our vision is to end suicide at Beachy Head.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
