BANBURY COMMUNITY CHURCH

The primary aim of the charity is to further the Christian Faith through provision of weekly worship, a teaching and training programme, community involvement and support and many other related activities and events to serve both the members of the church and the broader community.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
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 there are significant future grants due to be received

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 3 trustees?
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
