BETHEL COMMUNITY CHURCH (NEWPORT)

The charity advances the Christian Faith, primarily in the Newport, South Wales area. The church also provides services and facilities to improve the life of the residents of the Newport area and seeks to provide education and relieve sickness and financial hardship by the provision of goods, funds or services in the UK or the wider world.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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 gender
This charity is based in an area of extremely high deprivation

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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
