THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST JAMES & EMMANUEL, DIDSBURY 

St James and Emmanuel is a large and diverse church community consisting of 4 Sunday congregations and several small groups. We have close links with St James and Emmanuel Academy Trust and our buildings are used continually throughout the week by church members and the wider community. We run numerous homegroups and activities from youth/children's groups through to work with the disadvantaged.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 30 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

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
