THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ALL SAINTS, STRANTON

All Saints Stranton PCC maintains local parish activities of the Church of England. Main servcies are at the Church, venues in the Burbank Road area of town and the St Matthews Hall Community Centre. Sunday worship is in the Evangelical tradition with less formal (Burbank and Messy Church) expressions of faith. Outreach includes Youth work, town-wide ministries and overseas mission links.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there 13 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
