THE PCC OF THE ECCLESIATICAL PARISH OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST OWLERTON SHEFFIELD

The Anglican Parish Church of St John the Baptist, Owlerton. Seeking to proclaim and demonstrate the love of God within the community we serve.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why are there 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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