THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST. GEORGE THE MARTYR WITH ST. ALPHEGE AND ST. JUDE, SOUTHWARK

Worship, Teaching, Education, Social, support for those in need, pastoral care,

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 several prominent grant makers recently
This charity has a robust balance sheet
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £7,290,245 available, equivalent to 170 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Fundraising costs are high relative to funds raised
