We are a CofE Parish in Horbury, Wakefield, West Yorkshire with 2 churches. Our Vision includes reaching out to the community and offering a friendly welcome to the Christian way of life. We are heavily involved with local schools, British Legion and Horbury Churches Together as well as activities for all age groups.Further info at www.horburychurch.com.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender 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
  • 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
