BEACON COMMUNITY WESLEYAN REFORM UNION CHURCH

WE HOLD WEEKLY SERVICES OF PUBLIC WORSHIP OPEN TO EVERYONE AND PROVIDE CHRISTIAN TEACHING THROUGH SERMONS, BIBLE STUDIES AND PRAYER MEETINGS.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
There are only 3 trustees
The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

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