HOPE CHURCH TONBRIDGE

The church's activities seek to meet our purpose of advancing the Christian faith; through preaching and teaching.- Providing pastoral care to church attendees and to people within the local community- Carrying out devotional acts such as Holy Communion and full baptism- To relieve poverty and otherwise assist those in need where the church is in a position to help

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending since inception
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
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
Income was lower than spending in the latest year
