ASHBOURNE METHODIST CHURCH

As a Methodist Church our aims and activities are focussed on:-Providing an opportunity for members and others to Worship God, Ensuring everyone has opportunities to grow in faith through sharing with other ChristiansIdentifying opportunities for serving our community and the wider worldMaking known to others the good news of Jesus

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Why are there 23 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
