THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY IN GREAT BRITAIN

The Christian Community in Great Britain operates as a religious charity within the UK and Ireland.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £8,226,002 available, equivalent to 109 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
