GROUND LEVEL MINISTRY TEAM

The principle activity is the advancement of the Christian Faith, by promoting, supporting and encouraging the church by any means whatsoever including the preaching and proclamation of the Christian Gospel, along with the pastoral care of people and those in leadership within the church.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
