THE ANGLICAN AND METHODIST CHURCH OF ST. ANDREW, PADDOCK WOOD 

Our aim is to work as a united church in prayer, in worship and ministry, in making and nurturing Christian disciples, in serving God's mission in our neighbourhood and beyond, while retaining the distinctive features of Anglicanism and Methodism and maintaining our connections with other Anglican and Methodist bodies outside Paddock Wood.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • There are 17 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
