THE ST NICHOLAS CHURCH NORTON PRESERVATION TRUST 

The trust ensures that St. Nicholas Church, an early 12th century building, is kept in a good state of repair, internally and externally. Fund raising takes place and donations are received to assist in the restoration. The trustees continually assess the building.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests 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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
