CAMELFORD & WEEK ST MARY METHODIST CIRCUIT 

The Methodist Circuit is a group of 11 chapels, and each chapel elects usually two of their congregation to be trustees at the Circuit Meetings, where policies and financial commitments are decided, notably the appointment of Ministers, and ensuring that their stipends and housing are well maintained, and worship and charitable activities are beneficial to the local and wider communities
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are 33 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

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