ELM RIDGE METHODIST CHURCH DARLINGTON

As a welcoming place of Christian worship the main activity of Elm Ridge Methodist Church is to encourage people to accept Jesus into their lives. We hold services of Christian worship each Sunday and appeal to every age group, as well as study groups and prayer meetings throughout the week. We are also a well used centre for community activities providing a venue for many organisations to meet.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity

Financial issues to consider:
