THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST PAUL'S, SHADWELL

Promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, and beyond, the whole mission of the Church.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
This charity has a robust balance sheet
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
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 18 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,173,895 available, equivalent to 44 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
