SOUTHEND VINEYARD 

Southend Vineyard is a Christian Church made up of people from many walks of life, committed to living out the teachings of Jesus Christ in the context of contemporary society. We hold regular Sunday and weekday meetings and activities, occasional training events and are involved in a range of activities for the benefit of people who belong to the Church and the wider local community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity and another benefit
  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board is completely 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
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 29 years
