THE SAINT MARY'S CHURCH, BRAUGHING RESTORATION TRUST 

The raising of funds for the maintenance and restoration of St Mary's Church, Braughing, Hertfordshire.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

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
