JOSEPH SCOTT'S CHAPEL CHARITY 

The objectives of the charity are to support financially the repairs and maintenance of Carrs Lane Church, Birmingham, and to make grants available for land and building, repairs, maintenance and extension of United Reformed and Congregational churches within a 25 mile radius of Birmingham Town Hall.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

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