STOUR VALLEY VINEYARD CHURCH

Stour Valley Vineyard Church meets regularly to worship, pray, teach from the Bible and encourage one another. We run Storehouse - our compassion ministry including Storehouse foodbank, aiming to help local families and individuals in crisis. We run Alpha courses to help people on their journey of discovering who God is. We've also had baptisms and run numerous 'giveaways' to bless the community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
