URBAN EXPRESSION 

Networking and both formal and informal training and other communication initiatives, in order to motivate, encourage, train and facilitate self-financing teams engaged in church planting.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
