THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND AND FREE CHURCHES FUND RAF

The governing document is a trust deed that set up the Fund to assist Church of Scotland, Methodist, Baptist, United Reformed and other free church chaplains operating within the Royal Air Force in the performance of their duties and as a conduit for assisting other charitable activities

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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
