UNION ROAD COMMUNITY CHURCH (OSWALDTWISTLE)

The charity has been serving the local community, as well as members and friends of the church community, since 1901. During this period, there have been two moves of premises and in 2009 we completed a third move to a new purpose-built church on the main road in Oswaldtwistle. The new building has enabled us to reach out to the community by offering much improved facilities for all age groups.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
