SOUTHAMPTON METHODIST DISTRICT

In the power of the Holy Spirit and in the name of Christ to renew and promote the work of God in the region. To advance the mission of the Methodist Church by encouraging churches and circuits to engage in collaborative working-ecumenically wherever possible. To make available resources of finance, personnel and expertise and overseeing the various ministries of the Church and provide training

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent 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
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are 18 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
