THE METHODIST HOMESTEAD

The Methodist Homestead provides warm, manageable, comfortable and secure homes for our Residents in a caring Christian environment in keeping with the needs of our Residents, primarily for: a) members of Methodist Churches in the Northampton Circuit; b) retired Methodist Ministers and their spouses; c) elderly persons of limited means who are practising Christians of any denomination.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

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