FIRST IPC PRESBYTERY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM

Support network for a number of IPC Presbyterian Churches in England and Europe

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
