THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF WORTH, POUND HILL & MAIDENBOWER 

RELIGOUS ACTIVITIES
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
