SPRINGS CHURCH (LINCOLNSHIRE)

Spreading of the Christian message through small group activities and care.We welcome people of all ages and host social events in the community such as monthly lunch clubs. We assist at community events and have been invited by the town council to take part in major activities such as the annual Christmas Lights Switch-On. We reach out into surrounding villages as well as our own town.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
