KING'S CROSS METHODIST CHURCH 

King's Cross Methodist Church is a city centre church that seeks to be welcoming and hospitable to all. There are services in Cantonese, Mandarin, and in English. We organise support for refugees and asylum seekers and run a night shelter for homeless people during the winter months and a weekly social club for lonely people. Many community groups use our premises.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are 24 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
