THE FRIENDS OF ST. WILFRID'S CHURCH 

Advance the Christian religion in particular by the maintenance, repair, restoration and preservation of the fabric of the church of St Wilfrid's Kibworth and to preserve St Wilfrid's as a place of Christian worship.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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
