BARNOLDSWICK INDEPENDENT METHODIST CHURCH (TRUST PROPERTY HELD IN CONNEXION THEREWITH) 

The charity is a place of Christian Worship. We hold regular Sunday Services and Weddings, Christenings & Funeral Services. We welcome the community to worship services and community events we run. We care for and maintain an impressive Victorian Grade 2* Listed Chapel and associated Sunday School building, which are open to the community for internal inspection and appropriate secular activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • 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
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
