THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF EMMANUEL, WOODLEY

The P.C.C. promotes activities which further the vision of Emmanuel which is "to impact and influence our community with the good news of Jesus". We are focused on putting our faith into practice and reaching out to everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality or gender. We seek to serve through practical help like putting on clubs and events for different ages and interests.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why are there 13 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

  • 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
