PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST PAUL, CAMBRIDGE

St Paul's Church and Community Centre is a Church of England parish church just to the south of Cambridge city centre in the diocese of Ely. Its mission is to share the love of God in word and action. It provides space for people to pray and worship; to become part of a loving community through its outreach and community meals; and hires out its rooms to help support its mission.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there 16 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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