THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF FERNDOWN

Our Church vision is to "Transform Ferndown with Jesus". We aim to preach the Gospel of Christ, to serve and reach out to our local community, to support Christ's mission in this country and overseas, to grow in our own knowledge and discipleship of Christ.
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 a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why are there 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
  • Over half the Board have joined recently
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
