HETTON-LE-HOLE INDEPENDENT METHODIST CHURCH 

We promote the Christian religion in various ways - Sunday and mid-week services, Prayer Meetings and Bible Studies. We hold regular social activities both in our church premises and at other locations depending on the activity. We have a very active Sunday School as well as mid-week outings for those who attend. We have a Women's Auxiliary group and a Craft Club open to all adults.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
