WEM BAPTIST CHURCH 

We seek to spread the Bible's message of Jesus and develop people's knowledge and trust in him. We do this mainly through meetings and events organised by the Church, through its website, or by invitation from schools, radio stations and other organisations. Pastoral care is given to people living in the area. We support Missionary and outreach work in North Shropshire, nationally and worldwide.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity

Financial issues to consider:

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