THE COTTERIDGE CHURCH 

The Cotteridge Church serves the community through worship, involvement in the local foodbank, running a cafe and an older adults centre. Alongside church events, it also acts as a hire venue to a wide range of groups throughout the week. The Church was formed in 1986 when local Church of England, Methodist and United Reformed Churches combined as a Single Congregation Ecumenical Partnership.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
Established: 13 years
