WESLEYAN REFORM UNION OF CHURCHES

Christian charity communicating Christiam message

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity only provides its support via other charities
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is predominantly male
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
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 57 years
