THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF BUNBURY 

The CofE's church in Bunbury, we work to spread the Christian message in the parish and beyond by providing regular public worship open to all, pastoral care and practical support to those in need, support of other local, national and international charities that care for the disadvantaged, employment of a part-time youth worker, and by enabling community events and faithful engagement.
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
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • There are 17 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
Established: 14 years
