WEALDSTONE METHODIST CHURCH

Provision of regular public acts of worship open to members of the church & non members alike. Provision of sacred space, a building, for prayer and contemplation. The teaching of Christianity through sermons, courses & small groups. Pastoral work, including visiting the sick & bereaved. Provision of a Friendship Cafe, a fellowship meeting and toddlers group, with a Christian Ethos.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Why are there 19 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

Spending is declining
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
