Serving the spiritual and social needs of people in South Northampton

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

  • There are only 4 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

  • This Charity has changed registration and some of the financial and donation history pertains to the previous entity

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 3 years
