WEST NORFOLK METHODIST CIRCUIT 

West Norfolk Methodist Circuit offers opportunity for Christian worship and service in its 21 churches. It also makes its services available for baptisms, wedding and funerals as well as providing pastoral care. Several volunteers within the Methodist Church are Lay Preachers and many other volunteers take on roles to promote the religious ethos of the charity.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are 61 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
