WEST KIRBY METHODIST CHURCH 

We hold services on Sundays and during the week.We have a wide range of groups that meet regularly including toddlers, uniformed organisations and fellowship groups. We have a number of housegroups and there is a women's bible study group. Our premises are also used by a number of community organisations not directly connected with the church.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
