THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF THE PRIORY CHURCH OF ST PETER AND ST PAUL LEOMINSTER

Regular public worship for all. The provision of sacred space for personal prayer. Pastoral work, including visiting the sick and the bereaved. Promoting the whole mission of the Church through provision of activities for senior citizens, parents and toddlers and other special need groups. Supporting other charities in the UK and overseas.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Why are there 16 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

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