THE BETHEL CHURCH 

Church based charity which is actively involved in helping the local community through a variety of social activities involving all age groups from luncheon club etc for the elderly to clubs and activities for young people, and activities for people with disabilities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
