THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST JOHN, HENSINGHAM 

We are part of the Church of England. Our sentence of purpose is "Feeding, discipling and equipping Christians as they live for Christ evangelistically in the world". We provide a Church family within which people can grow as Christians and help one another and the community around us with the many problems individuals face. The church supports mission & poverty relief in the UK and abroad.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 17 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

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 was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
