THE CONGREGATIONAL MEMORIAL HALL TRUST

Funding of Christian activities and maintaining the Congregational Library.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and 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
