THE LIGHTWAVE COMMUNITY C.I.O.

Advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the doctrines and teachings of the Church of England within the diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich by through missional groups called Lightwave Groups, supported by Rural Hub Churches

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management 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
