THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF CORFE MULLEN

Church of England Church in the village of Corfe Mullen, Dorset.
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 several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Why are there 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
