THE PRISON PHOENIX TRUST CIO

The Prison Phoenix Trust CIO responds to and encourages prisoners in the development of their spirituality and sense of personal responsibility through the disciplines of meditation and yoga, working with silence and the breath. Prisoners are supported through teaching, workshops, correspondence, books, CD's and newsletters.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year

Established: 9 years
