YORK VINEYARD

We hold Sunday meetings, mid week groups,training events seminars and out reach programmes in which we seek to worship, train ,educate, provide pastoral care and advance the Kingdom of God. We train workers and bring relief to the poor and needy through our compassion ministries in which we provide food and clothing for the homeless, visit the sick and elderly and reach out to the drug addicts.
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 recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

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
