UNITED CHURCH DORCHESTER

We are a Christian Community which meets together to worship, learn, act and care. We are based in a church building in the centre of Dorchester which is in use throughout the week by church groups, other community groups in the town, and national organizations. We have a shop, selling fair trade foods and crafts, Christian books, greetings cards, and CDs. We also run a coffee shop.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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 was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
