THE FRIENDS OF ST. JOHN'S CHURCH MOGGERHANGER 

The Friends of St John's Church raises funds for the fabric and upkeep of the Church building and churchyard. We have a list of about 24 Friends who donate regularly, and hold two or three major fundraising events every year.
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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
