THE CHURCH AT CARRS LANE

Advance the Christian faith in the area of benefit in accordance with the principles and practices of the participating churches.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

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
