    SANDFORD ST MARTIN (CHURCH OF ENGLAND) TRUST 

    The Sandford St Martin Trust advocates for and promotes thought-provoking, distinctive broadcasting that engages with religions of all faiths, ethics or spirituality. We believe the media have an increasingly important and challenging role to play in interpreting what happens in the world. Through their work, the media can promote understanding, increase tolerance, and help build community.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
    • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

    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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
    Established: 45 years
