THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF FEN DRAYTON WITH FENSTANTON 

Promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 16 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
