NIGHT CHURCH CHESTER 

Night Church Chester operates out of St Peter's Church in the centre of the city of Chester. We are open to the public from 9.30pm to 2.00am on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month, except August. Our aim is to offer a sacred space, open to everyone, where people of all faiths and none are welcomed to experience something of God's presence. We offer free hot drinks and live music.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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
