ST JUDE'S CHURCH, WALSALL 

Part of the Free Church of England, we are a Church in the Chuckery area of Walsall. We hold services every Sunday morning at 10:30am, mostly following the informal Family Service, with Holy Communion being held every third Sunday. There are also Fellowship meetings, which include various activities, held as announced on Thursday evenings. A coffee and chat event is held on most Fridays.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
