ELLAND CHRISTIAN CENTRE

To facilitate the establishment of a local church which acts as a positive influence on the local community as it proclaims the gospel of Jesus Christ. Activities include a varied childrens and youth programme, groups for the elderly and for familes in addition to regular opportunities to worship together. A combination of teaching and practical action enables the church to accomplish its aims.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
  • Why are there only 4 trustees?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
