CHURCHES TOGETHER IN DORKING

Acting as a network between churches and encouraging interchurch activity including the "Soul Connect" identity for the Christian Youth in Dorking. Fund raising for charities. Operating foodbank to cover Dorking and surrounding villages.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

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