To promote any charitable purpose in the Church of England Parish of Bensham and the Teams and the surrounding area by working in partnership with the Church authorities, local authority, voluntary organisations and families to advance education and provide services and activities which enhance the quality of life of the local community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Established: 23 years
