The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a body corporate established by the Church of England. The Ecclesiastical Parish of Chorley St Laurence operates under the Parochial Church Council(Powers) Measure 1956.

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
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity
Why are there 18 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
