FRIENDS OF ST MARTIN'S CHURCH 

To raise funds for the care, maintenance and preservation of the fabric and fittings of St Martin's Church, Cheriton.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female
  • The Board composition appears to be very 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
