THE UNITED REFORMED CHURCH EAST MIDLANDS SYNOD INCORPORATED

Religious activities

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £11,336,887 available, equivalent to 115 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
