THE FRIENDS OF WEST MERSEA PARISH CHURCH

To raise funds towards maintainence, repair, restoration, improvement and reconstruction of the fabric of the Church of St Peter & St Paul in West Mersea and thus to promote community cohesion, a wider appreciation and use of the church buildings and good relationships between "the town" and the Church.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
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
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
