BAYFORD MISSION HALL SOCIETY 

The Bayford Mission Hall Society was established to procure the Mission Hall from the Church of England, to renovate and refurbish the building and then maintain it as a community facility for the Parish of Stoke Trister and Bayford.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government and a Community Foundation

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Established: 9 years
