    PLYMOUTH METHODIST MISSION CIRCUIT

    Christian based worship, pastoral care, training and recreational opportunities. Compassionate service to the community, particularly those who are socially or economically deprived.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • The charity has received backing from a grant maker recently
    • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
    • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
    • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

    Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

    • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
    • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
    • Why are there 27 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
