Provision of Regular Worship Services, including Holy Communion, Holy Baptism, Weddings & Funerals. Provision of Pastoral Care, Provision of drop-in coffee lounge
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there 18 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
