CAMBRIDGE METHODIST CIRCUIT

The Circuit's policy is framed in the light of the Methodist Church's calling. Through the structures of the Circuit local churches assist each other to respond to their calling seeking to deploy shared resources effectively to that end.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity and another benefit
There are 31 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
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
