ST CUTHBERTS CHURCH HALL, BENFIELDSIDE 

The Hall is used by people of all ages for meetings, classes, social events and family celebrations such as children's birthday parties. Regular users include the Church itself, Brownies, Guides, Rainbows, Book Club and yoga. An Out of School Group, 'Big Hands, Little Hands' is a regular user of the Hall.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • 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 and dynamic in terms of composition

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