THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF THE MINSTER CHURCH OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST HALIFAX

Church of England

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there 16 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

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