THE ST MARTIN'S CHURCH LICHBOROUGH FABRIC TRUST 

IT HOLDS THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL'S FABRIC FUNDS AND MANAGES THE MAINTENANCE OF THE CHURCH AND CHURCHYARD.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
