COMPASSION PRISON MINISTRY

The Compassion Prison Ministry is a Pentecostal group of volunteers and chaplains from several quite different denominations, working in partnership with prison Chaplaincy Teams in the UK educating and encouraging offenders in rehabilitation back into the community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

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
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
