    Explanation of how to use:

    The Registered Charities tab contains all congregations in the UK, inc. Northern Ireland where data is available.

    The information includes addresses, financial information, elder to publisher ratio (where numbers are given) and much more!

    If you sort by Column B, this will group all congregations that share a Kingdom Hall.

    Sorry about the formatting. Number of congregations in England & Wales is 1,325. Number of congregations in Scotland is 107.

    Northern Ireland has no financial data for any of their congregations.

    Who does this information gathering and for what purposes?

    I understand that the 'legacies' listed for Plymouth St Budeaux in 2012, of £360,000.00, and in 2013, of £140,000.00 where from the sale of KH property, and NOT legacies, as per the OP chart.

    darkspilver,

    Thank you. I have removed this as a legacy on that tab but I did list it as sale of Hall.

    I'll make the changes in the new document available soon.

    This was a huge project and there are bound to be mistakes along the way.

    Thank you for all this hard work.

    Nice to see all the deficits.

    If the facts about this religion cannot stop it maybe the finances will.

    The registered charities tab doesn't work for me. The information I really wanted is a list of Scottish congregations. I notice you list 107 here instead of the 108 in the initial post.

    Plus the initial post also indicated that an implausibly high number of congregations closed in Norther Ireland. They are the kind of numbers I would double check in case there is a mistake somewhere.
