The aim of the PCC, with the Vicar, is to promote, in the Parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through- Worship and prayer, learning about the gospel and developing knowledge and trust in Jesus- Provision of pastoral care- Missionary and outreach work
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 21 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
