RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES UNDER THE CONSTITUTIONAL PRACTICE AND DISCIPLINE OF THE METHODIST CHURCH
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 trustees

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 5 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
