FRESH EXPRESSIONS LIMITED 

Established in 2004, Fresh Expressions has increasingly developed into a movement working with most major denominations and many other groups. It aims to resource the development of vibrant and sustainable new forms of church alongside traditional churches across the country. These fresh expressions of church aim to meet the needs of those who have no real contact with conventional churches.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
