THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST PAULS, LETCHWORTH,HERTS (TRADING AS ST PAUL'S LETCHWORTH)

Regular public worship open to all. The provision of sacred space for personal prayer and contemplation. Pastrol work, including visiting the sick and the bereaved. Teaching of Chirtianity through seroms, courses and small groups. Taking of religious assemblies in schools. The provision of a youth club with a Chrisian ethos.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
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:

One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
Why are there 19 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
