AIREDALE METHODIST CIRCUIT

The Circuit organises worship in each Church through the Preaching Plan. It trains local preachers to spread the Gospel of Jesus and pays ministers to serve their communities and witness to the Gospel. It provides administrative support to its churches and offers a source of initiative and decision making through the Circuit Leadership Team.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
There are 33 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
Spending is declining
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
