THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST MARTIN, LISKEARD 

The PCC is required, as stated in the Parochial Church (Powers) Measure 1956, to co-operate with the Priest in Charge in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for St Martin's Church and St Martin's Centre in Church Street, Liskeard.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • 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
  • There are 14 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 is declining
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 15 years
