LOAF PROJECT

LOAF Project started in 1978 to help mobilise and unite the churches of Hastings and St Leonards and the surrounding area in the relief of poverty overseas.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
