FRONT LINE NAVAL CHAPLAINS

We work within the UK, undertaking research into the history of Royal Navy Chaplaincy; in particular, but not limited to, the impact of such ministry during armed conflicts. We undertake the creation and secure storage of an archive of relevant material and the dissemination and publication of that material by various means. We also run the Association of Royal Naval Chaplains.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board is predominantly 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 recently
