THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST GILES, PONTEFRACT 

The PCC is a voluntary group dedicated to the administration of the fabric and community of the church. We are an open and inclusive congregation and welcome people of all denominations and ages.We have recently modernised the western end of our church, making it a practical and accessible amenity for the town, with a new cafe and meeting rooms for local groups and the general public
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are 17 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
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
miles
