NEWHAVEN BAPTIST CHURCH-GENERAL FUND

Spreading the message of God's love and salvation through Jesus, by:- Christian witness in the neighbourhood- Preaching of God's word- Involvement with and practical support of members of the local community
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

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