TRINITY METHODIST CHURCH WOKING 

Trinity is a welcoming church seeking to live in the love of God and share the message of Jesus Christ. Worship is at the centre and is open to all. Members engage in pastoral work, visiting the sick and elderly and the bereaved. Our premises provide accommodation for community groups and organisations. We seek to develop community within and beyond our church walls.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are 20 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
