CENTRAL HARDSHIP AND RELIEF TRUST 

The charity provides relief of poverty amongst the Brethren in any part of the world by providing funds or meeting expenditure as required.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

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
Established: 35 years
