CORNWALL FAITH FORUM 

Promoting knowledge, mutual understanding and respect of the beliefs, traditions and practices of different faiths in Cornwall including an awareness of their distinctive features and their common ground to promote good relations, dialogue and communications between persons of different faith traditions
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 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 10 years
