LOCKING CASTLE CHURCH

We are an Ecumenical church partnership of 4 denominations (Anglican, Baptist, Methodist and URC) operating out of our purpose-built premises in Locking Castle Weston-super-Mare. The church is open to all and offers Christian worship, bible study groups and social activities for all ages. We aim to follow the way of Jesus, serving the community - particularly Weston's new estates.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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
One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
