THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF DONHEAD ST ANDREW 

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of the community of Donhead St Andrew. We aim to make St Andrew's Church a major centre of village life for all villagers, as a place of worship and the place where people can gather for a wide variety of activities in a building which is inspiring, welcoming, accessible and well-resourced.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • 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
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 11 years
