ANGULIMALA, THE BUDDHIST PRISON CHAPLAINCY

The Charity makes available facilities for the teaching and practice of Buddhism in Her Majesty's Prisons and other places of lawful detention or custody. It is the Religious Advisory Service for Buddhism to HMPPS and it provides licensed and suitably vetted Buddhist chaplains who regularly attend most of the prisons across England and Wales.

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 a grant maker
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
