GRACE INCORPORATION FAITH TRUST (GIFT) 

Our objective is to support young people and their families. We do this through a holistic preventative and intervention service into education, employment and training. Our core services are made up of mentoring, counselling, mediation/family group conferencing, supplementary school services and as a accredited National Open College Network training provider.
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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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

Financial issues to consider:

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