FRIENDS OF THE DEANERY CHURCH OF ST. MARY THE VIRGIN, BOCKING 

Social activities to provide fellowship and fun for members of the church and local community as well as a fund raising group for the church.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male

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