BEXLEY CHRISTIAN LIFE CENTRE

BCLC is a local church in Bexleyheath, in fellowship with the denomination of Assemblies of God in Great Britain and Ireland serving the community around, and further afield including abroad.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
  • 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
