THE ROMNEY MARSH HISTORIC CHURCHES TRUST 

Grants made to a number of churches on the Romney Marsh for the work of repairs, maintenance and restoration of the fabric and curtilage and for the undertaking of physical improvements, alterations and additions of the said churches including the installation of basic facilities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
