CHURCH IN THE COMMUNITY GROUP OF CHURCHES

The Charities objectives are to advance the Evangelical Christian Faith in accordance with the statement of beliefs appearing in the schedule to the M&As in the West Midlands and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the World, as the Trustees may from time to time think fit.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
The Board is predominantly male
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

Spending is declining
Income has been volatile recently
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
