TRUST FUNDS AND PROPERTY HELD IN CONNEXION WITH BLUNHAM OLD MEETING BAPTIST CHURCH

Maintains the Old Baptist Chapel in Blunham and associated property, on behalf of the worshipping congregation. Also provides a small annual sum for distribution to the poor of the parish in accordance with the trust deeds.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

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
