GATEWAY BUILDINGS TRUST

Providing buildings for use by Gateway Church
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of 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
