THE FRIENDS OF ST MARY'S PARISH CHURCH HANDSWORTH BIRMINGHAM 

We assist the P.C.C. of St Marys Handsworth to maintain and preserve the 12th century church which is grade II* English Heritage, and collect funds as a reserve to meet future expenses for same and we work for the public benefit, especially local inhabitants by stimulating interest in the upkeep of St Mary's Church and in its history, especially with James Watt, Matthew Boulton and William Murdock
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing
