Furtherance of Relgious worship and practice in accordance with the beliefs and practices of 'The Church of England'.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
