COMMUNITY CHURCH KILLINGWORTH 

We are a Christian church based in Killingworth, Newcastle Upon Tyne and hold services each Sunday morning in a local school and midweek house groups. Local schools are supported through assemblies and classroom activities. Although we no longer have a Christians Against Poverty centre we continue to support those of our former clients who still require help.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board is completely male
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
