BRADFORD NORTH METHODIST CIRCUIT 

The Bradford North Methodist Circuit works to the priorities set nationally by the Methodist Church:1. To increase awareness of God's presence and to celebrate God's love. 2. To help people to grow and learn as Christians, through mutual support and care. 3. To be a good neighbour to people in need and to challenge injustice. 4. To make more followers of Jesus Christ.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • There are 45 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
