EAST LINCOLNSHIRE METHODIST CIRCUIT

To give Christian guidance, leadership and support by way of services and regular acts of public worship in all our churches, to members and non-members alike.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

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 38 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

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