NORTH WEST DURHAM METHODIST CIRCUIT

The promotion and practice of the Christian faith in accordance with the doctrine of the Methodist Church.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there 62 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
