BEACON CHURCH LONDON

Beacon Church London is a growing Bible believing strong diverse community of believers, whose mission is to serve the community through building of the local church to the glory of Jesus. Beacon Church is part of the Newfrontiers worldwide family of churches together on a mission.

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 age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
