Our Finances
- WorldShare values the highest standards of integrity, openness and transparency before God. We are grateful for the generous support of our committed donors and steward our income with care and wisdom.
- WorldShare adheres to the Code of Fundraising Practice. We always seek to use financial gifts as instructed, however donations may be used elsewhere should the initial need be satisfied and/or the Trustees consider the gift could be utilised more appropriately to achieve the charity’s objectives.
- As a small charity, WorldShare endeavours to keep operational costs to a minimum whilst ensuring that we undertake all of our fundraising and global responsibilities at the highest level. WorldShare therefore uses a proportion of all donations to enable us to continue to do this.
