DRIFFIELD-HORNSEA METHODIST CIRCUIT

We are a religious Methodist Organisation who act as an umbrella and resource body supporting local Methodist churches to educate people about our religion and to support members through mission and evangelism. The Circuit offers support and pastoral care to local churches carrying out their religious activities. The Circuit provides buildings and facilities to help members with their outreach.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
  • Why are there 33 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

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