SUNDAY ASSEMBLY

Sunday Assembly is a secular community-led charity celebrating life, alleviating social isolation and loneliness. We host guest speakers and poets alongside our resident band and choir. We also have a variety of social groups aligned with our motto 'Live Better. Help Often. Wonder more.' Our volunteers have opportunities to develop and grow through training, skills sharing and peer support.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board has little diversity in terms of age
Over half the Board have joined recently

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: 9 years
