CHURCHES TOGETHER IN THE MERSEYSIDE REGION 

The encouragement and support of the working together of Christian Churches within their respective ecclesiastical boundaries
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

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 recently
