THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST JOHN, BIRKBY 

A place of worship & have regular services on Sunday & Weds mornings. Have established a group for older people within the community (not necessarily church people) which meets weekly for activities such as arts & crafts, gentle exercise, poetry, intergenerational sessions with children from our local school, relaxation & social sessions. This gives the chance to try new things & make new friends.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • 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: 8 years
