BETHEL EVANGELICAL CHURCH (EAST HANNINGFIELD) 

Bethel Evangelical Church is funded by the regular giving of the church members. We have a selected group of charities that we support: (Above Us Only Sky? Barnabas Fund. Open Doors. Village Hope. One Challenge. Tear Fund). Other monies are to cover the buildings maintenance and evangelical events.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
