THE FRIENDS OF ST MARGARET'S CHURCH, HIGH HALSTOW

The Charity raises funds through Festivals, Exhibitions Concerts and Talks within the Village of High Halstow, by applying to funding bodies for grants and by collecting subscriptions from Members in order to restore and maintain the fabric of St Margaret's Church. The Roof, Windows, Pointing, Stonework, Heating, Wiring, Drainage and Internal Decoration are the priorities

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

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
