CROPS

Advance the Christian faith for the public benefit in schools and churches in the Peterborough and surrounding areas. The charity also trades as "The Crops Trust".

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be 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
