KING'S LYNN DEBT CENTRE

King's Lynn Debt Centre (KLDC) exists to relieve individuals and families from financial debt. KLDC is run by three partner churches and it works in liaison with Christians Against Poverty. Income for the operation of KLDC is raised via individuals, the partner churches, fundraising activities and grant aid. KLDC is non-profit making. The Centre Manager is contracted to work 20 hours per week.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
