CORNERSTONE CHURCH, BOURNEMOUTH

The principal purpose of Cornerstone Church is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination. Activities include regular public worship, prayer and learning together from the Bible to nurture Christian disciples. We encourage charitable social action (UK and abroad) to share the love of Christ and the good news of the Gospel with others.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest 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
Over half the Board have joined recently

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 but has stabilised more recently
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 9 years
