WITHINGTON METHODIST CHURCH

Religious and community activities maintained throughout the week, not only Sundays. Church premises open each weekday from 9.30am to 5.00pm and for various evening activities offering an active Christian presence and community support for all then, and at other times as appropriate.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
There are 19 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
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
