THE FOUNDRY CHURCH

The objective of the Foundry Church is the advancement of the Christian faith in the borough of Halton and beyond. The church looks to meet the needs of the local community and congregation both practically and spiritually. There are high quality youth and children's programmes on a weekly basis and a variety of events and meetings available for the over 60's.
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 several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
