ANDERSON BAPTIST CHURCH, READING 

We are a Baptist church gathering together for worship, prayer and reading the Bible.

We aim to serve peoples needs, helping people come to faith and discipleship, encouraging people to serve others in wider mission and providing many social opportunities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • 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:

  • 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

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
