ST MATTHEW'S CHURCH BRIXTON PCC BUILDING MANAGEMENT CHARITY 

To preserve the historical, architectural and constructional heritage of the Church of St Matthew, Brixton, for public benefit.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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 age and 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
