WAY CHURCH 

The principal activity of the charitable company in the year under review was that of allowing the space created within the church to be occupied and enjoyed for the purpose of preaching and teaching the Gospel, in addition to being used for the benefit of the borough. The aim for 2022 is to continue in this vein and to extend the charitable activities of the church.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • More than half of total income was derived from trading and fees in the latest year
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but very substantial unrestricted reserves are available
