BROMLEY CHRISTIAN CENTRE

BCC is a healthy, growing Church. We are a Church without walls which is active in the local community by reaching out to different sections of society with love and care. We are strongly linked into our local community in many ways, from the food distribution work of the Hope Foundation through to the Ark Pre-School and Baseline Youth group.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are only 4 trustees
The Board is completely male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,498,568 available, equivalent to 43 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
