    The charity is established to promote and advance the Christian faith in sympathy with the ethics and teachings of Saint Anthony of Padua by distributing educational material, specifically a magazine, and making grants to charitable projects in England, Wales and all over the world with the aim to relieve poverty and advance health, education and community development.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • There has been strong growth in spending since inception
    • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
