The Orchard Church Trust
Financial data as at March 2025. Sourced from Charities Services register.
This entity is registered as a charity but functions as a property, trading, or investment vehicle held by a service-delivering parent (a church, school, hospital, professional association, or similar). Its purpose is to hold or trade assets on the parent's behalf — not to deliver programs to public beneficiaries on its own books. The standard charity rating template (program-vs-administration split, reserve-months, fundraising efficiency) doesn't apply at the subsidiary level — those signals are meaningful at the parent level. A letter grade is withheld here rather than producing a misleading F driven by template-fit. Look up the parent charity by name for its rating.
