BRIDGWATER COMMUNITY CHURCH 

The Church operates locally in relationship with a family of churches across the UK and abroad, supporting mission locally and abroad, and runs a community resource which is used by organizations as a community center. We also run community activities locally and provide support for Grace Advocacy helping to provide support to those in the local community who are need of assistance.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management 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
