FATHER'S PLACE

Sunday services in Wrexham open to the public; running a playgroup four days a week; running a parent and toddler group one day a week; pioneering and running a community cafe in the village of Rhos which provides opportunities for volunteers; regular meetings provided for youth; midweek meetings available weekly for church members.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
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 age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

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