RUMNEY GOSPEL CHAPEL

The members of Rumney Chapel seek to be salt and light in our community and run many different groups, meetings, activities and events throughout the week. The whole church is encouraged to meet on a Sunday morning. We run a toddler group, Kidz Klub, Youth Club and Messy Church regularly as well as many more informal meetings.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

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