THE BAPTIST UNION OF WALES

The Baptist Union of Wales seeks to further the Gospel of Christ in accordance with the principles of the Baptists, working with member churches in Wales and associated with Wales, and facilitating co-operation between the Union, member churches, and other Christian Groups. It operates by providing support to member churches as they seek to work in their own communities and in their own language.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender 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

Established: 10 years
