COVENTRY SPIRIT (RADIO) LTD

Our trustees came together with a vision to provide a Christian media voice via Radio Plus 101.5 FM in Coventry and the surrounding areas and to help build understanding and cohesion on behalf of the churches of Coventry to the wider community. The Trustees wish to see the whole of Coventry prosper spiritually, economically and socially and to foster collaboration among the media community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 14 years
