WEY VALLEY METHODIST CIRCUIT 

We are primarily an administrative body overseeing the activities of 13 churches including 2 LEPs and 1 shared church which provide worship opportunities, youth/luncheon clubs, pastoral care/support for local charities. Church premises are used by the community and third-party organisations e.g. uniformed organisations, playgroups, NCT, dance schools etc.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • There are 47 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
miles
