THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST MICHAEL'S AND ST LUKE'S, BECCLES

The PCC co-operates with the incumbent, the Rev'd R Henderson in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the church. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the church buildings and churchyard of St Michael's and the church buildings at St Luke's. In planning the church's activities the members of the PCC kept in mind the charity commission's guidance on public benefit.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

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

Established: 15 years
