MIDDLE EAST REFORMED FELLOWSHIP (ENGLAND)

To support Christian work in the lands of the Middle East, North Africa and Asia, through funding national church leaders, training, literature and practical aid.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male
  • 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
