MEMORIAL COMMUNITY CHURCH 

The Charity operates through Sunday worship including activties for children. Additionaly we operate a breakfast for homeless people on a Saturday under the title Bridges. The Church offers a breadth of pastoral care especially for vulnerable people and seeks to work in partnership with the Swift Centre and Alternatives, two local charities, to serve young people and vulnerable families.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
