METHODIST CHURCH IN WALES - WALES SYNOD CYMRU 

The Methodist Church in Wales - Wales Synod acts as the umbrella body and a resource provider for all of the primarily English-speaking Methodist Church bodies in Wales.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 24 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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